BOSTON (AP) — Boston voters, marking a key milestone in the city’s long political history, for the first time elected a woman and an Asian American as mayor on Tuesday, tapping City Councilor Michelle Wu to serve in the city’s top political office.
Wu’s victory marks a turning point for the city. Boston had only elected white men as mayor before her.
“One of my sons asked me the other night if boys can be elected mayor of Boston,” Wu told supporters. “They have been, and they will again someday, but not tonight.”
The choice of Wu over fellow Boston City Councilor Annissa Essaibi George is just the latest marker of how much the Boston of not-so-long-ago — known for its ethnic neighborhoods, glad-handing politicians and mayors with Irish surnames — is giving way to a new Boston.

Boys can’t be elected mayor of Boston. Neither can girls. Only adult men and adult women can hold the office.
Way to go, Boston! Get ready to become East Seattle.
I just can’t get enough of female and minority news stories...
Who cares if she is Asian or purple or whatever. She is just a another “progressive” loser. She will just be as bad as the white men who came before her.
I just can’t get enough of female and minority news stories...
- Republicans take back #Virginia and Winsome Sears makes history as first Lieutenant Governor woman of color.
What will the AP do once all the boxes have been checked off? I guess they’ll resort to sillier and sillier headlines: ‘Boston elects first transgender person with size 11 1/2 shoes.’
Just imagine the excitement if the new mayor was a man in a dress...
The first ‘woman’ mayor of Boston...
Thanks…
As long as “he” is drunk and Irish, Boston will welcome it.
Maybe she will do something about Harvard's discriminatory practices against Asians.
(Not holding my breath.)
Not to be confused with Michelle Rhee, Washington DC educator.
Can you hear me, Doctor?
She is going to Lower The Cost Of Living.
Seriously, who the hell cares what a candidate looks like or their ancestry.
White liberals losing there mind in joy whenever a minority wins an election. Can’t tell you anything about their positions but:
” look at me! I’m such a good person - I voted for the color person!!
Meanwhile they have no idea who Winsome Sears is.
Michelle Wu is an extreme left wing nutcase who has been described as a protege of Elizabeth Warren. Claims she is going to make the MBTA ( public transportation ) free however doing so is not possible for her.
Good luck, Boston - you continue to suck.
They elected a covid variant for mayor?
There you go with the gender labels.
Wu-who?
Another incompetent Marxist?
