Somerville Mayor Ousted: Wilson vs. Burnley in November
Update: 2025-09-17
Description
Somerville Mayor Ousted! Incumbent Katjana Ballantyne shockingly lost the preliminary election to City Councilors Jake Wilson and Willie Burnley Junior, who will now battle it out in November. Voters cited frustration with Ballantyne's leadership and a desire for change as Wilson and Burnley tapped into concerns about housing costs, development, and Somerville's progressive identity. Wilson promises to fix dysfunction while Burnley aims to make history as the city's first Black, openly queer, and polyamorous mayor.
