Timeline

2021

In March 2021, Barros announced he would run for mayor in the 2021 Boston mayoral election. If elected he would become the first black man to become mayor of Boston. In a September 10, 2021 article, Ellen Barry of the New York Times described Barros as having, "struggled to get traction." On the day of the primary election, Gregory Krieg of CNN described Barros as, "a heavy underdog". On the day of the primary election, The Boston Globe characterized him as, "trailing the pack" in opinion polls. However, in the days leading up to the election, Barros expressed confidence, questioning the accuracy of polling. Barros ultimately placed fifth, with over 3% of the vote.

In November 2021, Barros became managing principal of the Boston office of the real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield. In January 2022, Barros became the first-ever visiting professional at Boston College's Joseph E. Corcoran Center for Real Estate and Urban Action at the Carroll School of Management.

2016

The Boston Globe jointly named Barros, Jay Ash, Steve Kadish, and Dan Koh its 2016 "Bostonians of the Year", crediting them with having been behind the deal which brought General Electric's headquarters to the city, each having done so, "with marching orders from their bosses". In 2018, Boston magazine ran ranked Barros 15th on its list of "The 100 Most Influential People in Boston", writing .mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 40px}.mw-parser-output .templatequote .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;padding-left:1.6em;margin-top:0}

2014

In February 2014, Boston mayor Marty Walsh appointed Barros as the city's chief of economic development. The position included purview over the Boston Redevelopment Authority. The position oversaw economic development in the city, and also was tasked with coordinating efforts across numerous city departments. Barros's first day on the job was February 11, 2014. He was the first person to hold this new position. In February 2021, Barros resigned in order to launch his second candidacy for mayor of Boston.

2013

Barros, a Democrat, ran the first of his two unsuccessful campaigns in Boston's nonpartisan mayoral elections in 2013.

In the primary, The Boston Globe made a dual-endorsement of both Barros and John R. Connolly.

After failing to make the general election himself in his 2013 mayoral bid, Barros endorsed and campaigned heavily for Marty Walsh, who won the election. Barros's own campaign had elevated his notability, and, while he seemed likely to be offered a position in Walsh's administration, it was also, initially, speculated that Barros might instead make another run for elected office, with speculation circulating about a possible run for lieutenant governor or a run in the special election for the Massachusetts House of Representatives seat vacated by Carlos Henriquez.
