Following Boston Mayor Martin J. Walshâs nomination as President Joe Bidenâs Labor Secretary, Boston s 2021 mayoral race, once perceived as an uphill battle, has become a wide-open race between City Councilors Michelle Wu â07, Andrea J. Campbell, and newcomer Annissa Essaibi George.
Within the last month, Wu received several high-profile endorsements from progressive leaders, including U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and the Boston Sunrise Movement. Cambridge City Councilors Quinton Y. Zondervan and Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler previously endorsed Wuâs bid as well.
Despite this new wave of support for Wu, the race remains hotly contested with Campbell leading the field in fundraising for January.
