This has been a top priority for @mayorwu.boston.gov for nearly a decade, and it’s hugely gratifying to know Madison Park is getting the investment it has long deserved. It’s a big win for Boston kids.

The Shutdown Is Over. For Many SNAP Recipients, the Scars Remain.

This is a harrowing picture of the psychological impacts of food insecurity & hunger. It’s shameful that the SNAP cuts made millions of Americans feel like this.

Incredible day celebrating the opening of the new @bostonschools.boston.gov Carter School—an international model of what it looks like to design with and for our kids with complex disabilities & medical needs.

This Democrat Proves You Can Be Principled, Effective—and Popular Zohran Mamdani has pointed to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu as a model. There are many good reasons why.
