Boston Mayor-elect Michelle Wu wins big time:

Last edited Thu Nov 6, 2025, 03:58 AM - Edit history (2)

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history.

She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

Lots of progress when a woman finally, first time in our history, took the seat of Governor. We swept that race right on down to the AGs office!

Huge kudos to Mayor Wu!

I'm so glad our State is run by women- Governor, Lt Governor, AG, Boston Mayor. The exception is SecState Bill Galvin. But he's doing fine too💙🌊😊
