The Boston Globe Endorses Michelle Wu For Mayor

October 25, 2021

The left-leaning editorial board of The Boston Globe has made the decision.

It wants Michelle Wu to be the next mayor of Boston.

Wu is running against fellow at-large city councilor Annissa Essaibi George. While the Globe wanted Andrea Campbell to win in the preliminary round in September, she finished third; only the top two advanced to the final election on Tuesday, November 2.

The Globe‘s editorial board cited portions of Wu’s left-leaning agenda for endorsing her.

“In this election, she has sketched out an agenda for a greener, more equitable city,” the editorial board said. “She’s committed to tackle one of Boston’s stubborn, entrenched problems — a police department that lacks the trust of too many residents. She’s a persistent advocate for mass transit, and rightly sees it as a way to both clean up the environment and ease the crippling traffic congestion that has been an unfortunate byproduct of the city’s growth. She envisions setting up a system to help families navigate the bewildering complexity of the Boston Public Schools.”

New to NewBostonPost?  Conservative media is hard to find in Massachusetts.  But you’ve found it.  Now dip your toe in the water for two bucks — $2 for two months.  And join the real revolution.
