El Planeta Newspaper
Endorses Michelle Wu for Mayor
Boston, MA— The Editorial Board of El Planeta
Newspaper has decided for the second time in its 17 years history to endorse a
political candidate for office. Citing her longtime commitment to advancing racial
fairness, health and education services, El Planeta said they
are endorsing Wu because Boston is ready for new leadership.
“Our values of freedom, democracy and tolerance are at stake in
our city and in our country, so we have decided to act. We support and
endorse Michelle Wu as the best choice for Mayor of Boston because we know she
will work and fight for those values,” wrote the editorial board of El Planeta,
the largest Hispanic paper in Massachusetts.
This endorsement comes on the heels of the release of Michelle’s
new Spanish-language TV ad “Boston Para Todos” and two
new Spanish radio ads, including a jingle in the traditional Plena style of
Puerto Rican music “El Gran Cambio”. (attached)
“This election is about the future
of our city. As the daughter of immigrants and mom to two boys in our public
schools, I’ll fight to make Boston a city for everyone. We’re building a
multiracial, multilingual, multigenerational coalition to last long after
Election Day—and bring all of us together to deliver change in office.” said Michelle
Wu.
