Martin Lomasney

He served as state senator, state representative, and alderman, but is best known as the political boss of Boston's West End. Nicknamed "the Mahatma" for his ability to marshal support for his preferred candidates, Lomasney controlled Ward Eight (later Ward Five, then Ward Three, due to redistricting) and wielded considerable influence in city and state politics for over forty years.
