Working Families Party
Endorses Michelle Wu for Mayor of Boston
"This is what putting progressive values into action looks
like," said Georgia Hollister Isman, New England Regional Director of
the Working Families Party. "From leading the charge for paid family
leave, affordable housing and climate solutions that meet the moment,
Michelle’s bold vision has improved the lives of thousands of working families.
She’s a changemaker who doesn’t shrink away from transformative solutions, and
she’s ready to lead on the most pressing issues facing Boston families. WFP is
proud to have her back in this race.”
“From fighting for a livable wage and safe working conditions, to organizing powerful campaigns throughout the nation, the Working Families Party has led the way in reshaping what’s possible,” said Michelle Wu. “I’m grateful to be endorsed by the Working Families Party in fighting to make Boston a city for everyone.”
The WFP is a national independent political organization that
recruits, trains and elects grassroots progressives to office. In 2020, the
Working Families Party led a $2.5 million voter mobilization effort in
Georgia to elect Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to the Senate, helped elect WFP
champions Jamaal Bowman and Mondaire Jones in heavily contested Congressional
races, drove a wave of victories for
progressives in Rhode Island, shook up the New Mexico Democratic
establishment with progressive victories under the banner of "No
Corporate Dems,” elected a diverse slate of
progressives in Delaware, and helped create the most progressive NY state
legislature in decades by winning thirty-three state
legislative primaries.
The WFP will be mobilizing its 16,000 members in the state and
lending the support of its national texting team to help elect Michelle Wu for
mayor.
