Sept. 12 (UPI) -- Philanthropist Josh Kraft has ended his campaign for mayor of Boston after being soundly defeated in a preliminary election against incumbent Michelle Wu.
"After careful consideration, I have decided to suspend my candidacy for mayor of Boston," he wrote in a letter Thursday evening. "This campaign has never been about speeches or social media posts, talking points or talking heads. It has never been about Josh Kraft or Michelle Wu."
"This campaign has always been about the future of Boston," he continued.
Kraft, the son of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, was stymied at the polls as fellow Democrat Wu scored 66,398 votes in the election results held Tuesday, to Kraft's 21,324, according to Ballotpedia.
