On March 22, Kim Janey became the acting Mayor of Boston.
Under the city charter, Janey who served as the City Council President, becomes the acting mayor when a vacancy occurs mid-term.
The seat became vacant when Marty Walsh formally resigned on Monday after being confirmed as the new U.S. Secretary of Labor.
Janey will serve the remainder of the year and a general election will be held in November to fill the position.
