The last time Boston elected a new mayor, Whitney Houston was belting out “I Will Always Love You” in The Bodyguard and Jurassic Park was topping the box office charts. That’s right; it was 1993.

Over the last twenty years, Mayor Menino has built a legacy that won’t soon be forgotten. But Boston’s not done yet. We have improving, creating, and innovating left to do in order to make this city the best place in the world to live and work, and it starts with you.

The New England Venture Capital Association is teaming up with BostInno to poll the startup community on the issues that are most important to you. How will the rising cost of rent in Boston affect your ability to open an office for your growing company? Can Boston’s tech innovators help solve the city’s transporation issues?

This poll is your chance to ask the twelve confirmed candidates for Boston’s 2013 Mayoral Election the questions that matter most to you, and to help shape the future of business in Boston. Keep track of questions on Twitter at #AskBostonsNextMayor, and let us know what you think.
