Barry Lawton for District 3
Barry Lawton
has always been guided by the philosophy "Community First,” and while that has not changed, Barry has expanded that belief to include “Leadership for All."
Together, let’s transform Boston
Make a contribution to support this movement and elect Barry as Boston City Councilor of District 3:
Dorchester, Roxbury, South Boston, South End!
On June 15th, 2023, Barry appeared on Talk of the Neighborhoods where “we continue our coverage of Election 2023, the city council races on the ballot this summer and fall. On the first half of TOTN, Montez Haywood, an assistant Suffolk County district attorney, joins us to talk about his campaign for the District 8 City Council seat, left vacant when incumbent Councilor Kenzie Bok stepped down earlier this spring to become administrator of the Boston Housing Authority. Then on the second half of the show, Barry Lawton, a long-time community activist from Dorchester, joins us to talk about his campaign for the District 3 Council seat.”

“We are Boston's first and only FCC licensed, church-based, Black-owned, WBPG-LP 102.9 FM Radio, Television, Social Media and Internet Multi-Media Network. We are the "media voice" of the church in Boston. We air on 31-different media platforms and we are now the #1 Gospel, News and Talk station in the Black community.”
