Boston is so beyond help. Wu has been a terrible mayor and she is going to be rewarded with a second term.
The Associated Press reports:
Boston Mayor Wu will run unopposed in her reelection bid after challenger’s recount bid falls shortBoston Mayor Michelle Wu will run unopposed for in her reelection bid after a challenger didn’t garner enough votes to advance to the general election, the city’s election department announced Monday.Wu, the city’s first Asian and female leader and a frequent target of the Trump administration, is seeking a second four-year term. She was expected to face Josh Kraft, a nonprofit leader and son of Patriots owner Robert Kraft, but he dropped out after losing badly to her in the preliminary election earlier this month.Since the top two vote-getters advance, attention turned to third-place finisher Domingos DaRosa. But after a recount of several wards by the city’s election board was completed Monday, DaRosa, a community activist who was born in the Cape Verde Islands, did not garner the 3,000 votes needed to qualify to be on the ballot in November.The last time a mayor ran unopposed in Boston was Mayor Thomas Menino in 1997.Wu thanked everyone who voted for her and said in a statement that her focus in the coming weeks would be getting people to come out to vote for her and City Council candidates.“I’m humbled by the overwhelming support across every neighborhood and every ward to keep going in our work to make Boston a home for everyone,” said Wu, who spent much of the year jousting with the federal government over immigration.DaRosa acknowledged he came up short but blamed the lack of visibility and money for the outcome.
