Boston Mayor's Exclusive Party Did Not Violate Law: AG

Despite backlash and four formal complaints, the Attorney General's office will not investigate the 'Electeds of Color Holiday Party' hosted by Mayor Michelle Wu.

  • Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell has found that Boston Mayor Michelle Wu did not violate state law by hosting a holiday party that excluded white officials.
  • The AG's office maintains that the event was not open to the public and therefore doesn't violate the state's public accommodation law.
  • The office refuses to open an investigation into the matter, despite four formal complaints being filed about the segregated party.
  • Mayor Wu defended the party, stating that there are multiple holiday parties each year that are open to all elected officials.
  • Mayor Wu has faced backlash over the party and has been accused of racial discrimination in the past.
