SPOTTED: Among the dignitaries at @wutrain’s signing in, @SecretaryOfMass Bill Galvin (with a vote mask) #mapoli Image
*swearing in — they’re in line to be checked in
My SPOTTED abilities are going to be limited — most press aren’t allowed in the council chamber for Wu’s swearing-in ceremony because of fire codes.
SPOTTED: @MassGovernor @ewarren @EdMarkey @AyannaPressley @Kim_Janey walking into the council chamber with @wutrain for her swearing-in ceremony #bospoli #mapoli
Watch @wutrain be sworn in as Boston’s first elected female mayor and first elected mayor of color (and first millennial mayor etc) live here boston.gov #bospoli
Here’s the view from the overflow seating for Wu’s swearing-in ceremony #bospoli ImageImage
SPOTTED in the council chamber with Wu: @DARollins @stevenwtompkins @MattOMalley
Michelle Wu takes her oath of office (as seen from a livestream at City Hall because print press weren’t allowed in the council chamber).

@wutrain is now mayor of Boston #bospoli Image
“I learned the ropes of city government and politics on this floor, held the gavel on this floor, nursed babies on this floor, delivered paid parental leave on this floor,” newly minted Boston Mayor @wutrain says #bospoli Image
Boston Mayor @wutrain says she’s “earned the mandate” to call brutalist City Hall a “beautiful building.” Strong take from the new mayor #bospoli Image
SPOTTED in the background of Wu’s swearing-in (and on the elevator earlier) former rival @AnnissaForBos #bospoli Image

Polls are CLOSED in Massachusetts (except in Barnstable, where voting will continue until midnight due to a vault issue this morning). Stay with me and
@politico for all your #mapoli primary results tonight!

Statewide: politico.com/2022-election/…
House: politico.com/2022-election/…
I’m starting my night at AG @maura_healey’s campaign party before heading elsewhere. Healey is en route to officially clinching the Democratic nomination for governor, after her last primary opponent dropped out in June. Few here yet, but the Bachelorette is playing #mapoli
Since I can't be everywhere tonight, I'm threading in some other #mapoli and #bospoli reporters to watch:
@samanthajgross at @MayorDriscoll
@CotterReporter at @RicardoNArroyo
@GraceZokovitch at @DAKevinHayden

It’s 9:40 a.m. on the day before the Massachusetts primaries and I’ve already seen every Democrat running for statewide office at the @GBLCBoston Labor Day breakfast (save for @maura_healey, who’s coming later.) And yes, that’s @TamiGouveiaMA eating a waffle #mapoli
Presumptive Democratic governor nominee @maura_healey makes her pitch at @GBLCBoston: “As governor, I’m always going to champion those on the front lines.” #mapoli
A joke is made about all of @ShannonForAG’s TV ads — “you may have seen her in her commercials” — ahead of her @GBLCBoston speech. She’s now given her campaign $9.3M to fuel more than $5.5M in ads, and has run six statewide and one in western Mass #mapoli politi.co/3ARzbWk

AG debate, hosted by Boston @Ward4Dems @bostonward5dems, getting underway. @AndreaForAG @ShannonForAG @qpalfrey all here, a few hours after Campbell picked up some new endorsements in Revere while Palfrey/Liss-Riordan knocked her for not signing "People's Pledge" w/ them #mapoli
What sets the candidates for AG apart? They all say experience.
AG candidates asked what's the biggest single challenge facing Massachusetts?
@AndreaForAG: Mental health and housing
@ShannonForAG: "The high cost of everything."
@qpalfrey: Structural racism and economic and wealth inequality #mapoli

On the way into the convention hall, @DiehlForMA @LeahColeAllen supporters are handing out swag bags that include water, a bumper sticker, lit and an American flag #mapoli Image
Chair Jim Lyons is staunchly antiabortion in MA, where abortion is codified. @massgop handing out “Protect the Unborn” pins at convention & Lyons says onstage “We don't get our rights from Beacon Hill. We don't get our rights from Washington. We get our rights from God.” #mapoli Image

I'm at the State House where the House is taking up the congressional redistricting map now. Follow along malegislature.gov/Events/Session… #mapoli
Assistant House Majority Leader @staterepmike, who co-leads redistricting, says mapmakers used “sound redistricting principles that were transparent & known to all from the very beginning of this process.” This comes amid big backlash to Fall River/New Bedford split #mapoli
@staterepmike BREAKING: The House has approved the congressional redistricting map (that splits Fall River and New Bedford) to be engrossed by a 151-8 vote. Now on to the Senate, where there's expected to be more friction #mapoli
