BOSTON — Boston Mayor Michelle Wu secured a second term in office Tuesday night after running unopposed.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said the fact that she ran unopposed did not take away from the victory of securing a second term in office and the honor of representing the city of Boston not only at the local level but also on a national scale.
She thanked supporters across the city at Grace by Nia in the Seaport and talked about what people here in Boston can expect for the next four years.
"Tonight, and over the next four years, we will send the same message we’ve sent since the day that Boston was founded. That the fight for our freedom, for our families, our friends, and the future we know to be possible is always a fight worth fighting for," Wu said.
The Mayor stood alongside some of her allies who were reelected on the Boston City Council, including City Council President Ruthzee Louijeune and councilor Henry Sant at Tuesday night’s event.
Wu said Tuesday’s general election results reaffirm that Boston cannot be bullied or bought.
She says Boston continues to be targeted by the federal government for not backing down and will continue to stand up for what’s right…
Wu said Boston fought for what mattered over the last four years, building more BPS facilities than in the last 40 years combined and driving down gun violence ever recorded in Boston.
Boston asked her if people can expect any clear differences for her second term as mayor of Boston.
“We want Boston to be the hub of the universe’s talent, the best city for families, the safest city, the greenest city, a place where people from all around the world with big ideas continue to come as they have for 400 years," Wu said.
Wu’s main challenger, Josh Kraft, dropped out of the race after the preliminary election.
