Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (D) launches re-election campaign
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu made her bid for re-election official Saturday, emphasizing inclusiveness, experience and opposition to President Donald Trump to a crowd of supporters holding signs of jewel-toned purple and lavender.
“Four years ago, none of us could’ve imagined what these past three months have looked like,” Wu said to a crowd of about 1,200, according to her press team. “It’s not just our country that are under attack, it’s communities like ours, our lives and our livelihoods. Our identities and our independence. It feels like everything that makes Boston, Boston is being threatened by an administration that is clearly threatened by who we are as a city.”
“We face serious challenges in this moment and now is not the time for a mayor who needs on the job training,” Wu said to cheers.
The mayor launched the campaign from the Cyclorama, the same South End venue where she celebrated victory nearly four years before. She noted the venue’s history as a theater of the 1800s, built to show an immersive painting of the Battle of Gettysburg.
