Michelle Wu has emerged as the top vote-getter in a runoff election for mayor of Boston, but the race to decide her opponent is too early to call.
Boston is facing a historic shift with the expected departure of its white male mayor, who will be succeeded, at least temporarily, by a Black woman.“I am so grateful to you showing up not just tonight but showing up for the last eight months,” she told supporters, adding that while every vote needed to be counted, “it doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate.”
Wu was elected to the Boston City Council in 2013 at age 28, becoming the first Asian American woman to serve. In 2016, she was elected City Council president by her colleagues in a unanimous vote, becoming the first woman of color to serve as president.There will be more women of color sworn in to the 117th U.S. Congress than ever before, with at least 51 women of color elected.
