The Boston Globe, the city’s oldest and largest daily newspaper, announced that it is endorsing City Councilor Michelle Wu in the Boston mayoral race.
Endorsement: The Boston Globe Editorial Board published the endorsement announcement online on Oct. 22.
  • “In this election, that choice is very clear: The Globe endorses at-large City Councilor Michelle Wu of Roslindale, the first-place finisher in the preliminary election who has both an expansive vision for the city’s next chapters and a proven record of ethical leadership,” the Editorial Board wrote.
  • The Editorial Board stated that the Globe decided to endorse the 36-year-old due to her proposals to create a “greener, more equitable city,” and cited her desire for police department reform, mass transit development and environment and traffic congestion fixes.
  • The Boston Globe previously endorsed Andrea Campbell back in September, but Campbell did not pass the preliminary election.
