My Take
Michelle Wu is the kind of public figure who makes me a little more hopeful about politics. Chicago-raised and Harvard-educated, she became one of Boston's youngest mayors and its first woman and first Asian American to win the office. Breaking that much ground at once is not just symbolic; it carries enormous pressure, and she stepped forward anyway. I respect leaders who shoulder responsibility instead of waiting for an easier moment. I am genuinely curious to see what kind of city she builds, and I count her among the more interesting voices of a new generation.
