CNN PROJECTION: Michelle Wu will be the next mayor of Boston. She will be Boston’s first woman and first person of color elected mayor
"From every corner of our city, Boston has spoken. We are ready to meet this moment. We are ready to become a Boston for everyone," Wu said to a crowd of supporters Tuesday night."I want to be clear, it wasn't my vision on the ballot, it was ours, together."City Councilor Annissa Essaibi George conceded the Boston mayoral race with a large share of the vote still waiting to be counted.
Championing hallmark policies like a Green New Deal for Boston, Wu racked up support from high-profile Massachussetts progressives, such as Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Sens. Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren. Pressley, who represents a portion of Boston, also served on the Boston City Council with both Wu and Essaibi George. Wu ran on a progressive platform, including calling for a fare-free transit system.
