Councilor at large John R. Connolly raised almost $68,000 in December, more than double the haul of any other city official, including Mayor Thomas M. Menino.
Connolly’s fund-raising tear is continuing this month, and his campaign has already deposited $40,000 more in his account, he said. The councilor’s aggressive pace picked up as most candidates raced to bolster their campaign accounts heading into an election year. Individual donors may give up to $500 per year, which makes Dec. 31 an important fund-raising deadline.

Before she was promoted to statewide responsibility, Michelle Wu was the campaign coordinator the Warren campaign for much of Boston going from neighborhood to neighborhood and helping engage the first big wave of supporters. She came to Brighton 5 or 6 times, I have to say I was impressed by how much she could get done without every seeming hurried.
I emailed her a question one day and she responded that she's send me the info in an hour because she was at her graduation. That's the kind of responsiveness I want in a City Council member.
