Boston Mayor Michelle Wu was in San Francisco lately throughout APEC 2023 to attend the California Asian Management Community of Elected and Appointed Officers (CALNET) 2023 management retreat. As a Taiwanese American born and raised in Western Massachusetts, I’ve been a giant fan of Michelle’s ever since she received elected to Boston metropolis council and a fair greater fan when she was elected Mayor of Boston (as the primary lady, first individual of colour, first Asian American elected as mayor of Boston) again in 2021.

Throughout Michelle’s transient go to, San Francisco Metropolis Lawyer David Chiu hosted a dialog with Michelle in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Michelle talked about her path to changing into Mayor of Boston and answered viewers questions.

I had the lucky alternative to go to at a smaller prior occasion hosted by APIAVote’s ‘SF Style of Democracy Briefing & Reception.’
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and I
I expressed how a lot of a giant fan I used to be of her and particularly appreciated her openness about being a caregiver to her mom who had suffered from psychological sickness – one thing that the Asian American group is just not so open to debate and one thing that I can relate to.
Michelle is half-way by way of her time period and will likely be operating for re-election in 2025. I hope Michelle does get re-elected and runs for larger workplace in 2029!
