Battenfeld: Michelle Wu faces test of clout and power in Boston municipal election

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:32:46 GMT

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, using old school hardball tactics, is pushing for a clean progressive sweep in Tuesday’s city council election to consolidate and increase her political power.Wu is backing four liberal candidates that if elected would take the council even farther left and expand her clout on the dysfunctional and sometimes prickly 13-member body.Wu has generally gotten her way on the council but has faced some resistance that forced her to use her veto power.If some of her endorsed candidates don’t win, it could be viewed as a sign that her electoral muscle is not as strong as some believe.But if she gets a sweep of all her candidates, it would give her enormous clout on the council and in the state and allow her even to groom a successor if she wants.The council votes in January on a new president that would take over City Hall in case of any mayoral vacancy.Wu has batted away rumors that she’s looking to leave her mayoral job but she might have an interest in ensuring t...
