What was Michelle Wu’s road to fame?

Born to Taiwanese parents who immigrated to the US, Wu grew up in Chicago before relocating to Boston to pursue her undergraduate degree at Harvard University.

She later went on to pursue her law degree from Harvard Law School, and also worked as a business consultant and lawyer.

Her chance for the mayoral position came when the Boston mayoral seat became vacant as President Biden had chosen former Boston Mayor Marty Walsh to be the Secretary of Labor.

Thus, the former Mayor had to resign to avail himself for Biden’s appointment. The seat was then temporarily filled by City Council President Kim Janey.

The 36-year-old Boston mayor won her seat in November 2020 by a resounding 60% when she defeated fellow Democrat, Annissa Essaibi George.
