JUST IN: Michelle Wu is sworn in as the new mayor of Boston, making history as the city's first Asian American mayor.
Republican candidate for New York City mayor Curtis Sliwa speaks during a debate with Eric Adams, Brooklyn borough president and Democratic candidate for New York City mayor at the ABC 7 studios, Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2021, in New York.
In Boston, Michelle Wu espoused a more liberal approach to policing and called for bigger reforms, but her history-making win came in a campaign dominated more by debates about issues such as affordable housing. Frey’s prospects may be linked to the ballot question that asked voters whether they want to replace the police department with a Department of Public Safety. Frey opposed the change, but his top two challengers supported it.
In Atlanta, City Council President Felicia Moore advanced to a runoff in the mayoral contest that was dominated by fears over rising crime rates and a spate of high-profile killings. Moore cited rising crime as a motivation for her campaign. González, the city council president, has called for an overhaul of the police department, which is under federal supervision for a pattern of excessive force and evidence of biased policing.
