BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has officially announced her reelection campaign.

Wu kicked off her campaign Saturday afternoon at the Boston Center for the Arts after speaking to protesters at the Hands Off rally at City Hall Plaza.

“Together, we have spent the last four years making progress on the big challenges our city faces and we have much more work to do, more work to keep our city safe, more work to lower costs, more work to keep investing in our schools, combatting climate change, caring for our seniors, and continuing to deliver top-notch city services, it’s not easy making the greatest city on earth even better,” she said.

This is Wu’s first reelection campaign.

In a statement, her challenger, Josh Kraft, said, “Mayor Wu has taken an ideology-first, results-second approach to governing … she has failed to deliver on a single campaign promise she made to the people of Boston.

The mayoral election will be held in November.
