This article is pretty big. Parts of the section "Relationship with the Boston City Council" make it unnecessarily dense. Then there are three sections on environmentalism. Should we just put that under a general political beliefs/stance section? I think "Policy Positions" would be the best bet, since it's already fairly concise.

She did not apologize for having a racially segregated party. Instead, she apologized because one of her employees accidentally invited white people. https://www.wcvb.com/article/mayor-wu-boston-apology-electeds-of-color-holiday-invitation/46121252 SquirrelHill1971 ( talk) 14:46, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Controversies
On December 13, 2023 Michelle Wu drew criticism after Wu's aide, Denise DosSantos, unintentionally sent a holiday party invitation to all members of the Boston City Council for an "Electeds of Color Holiday Party," that was originally intended only to include only the non-white members. Fifteen minutes after sending the invitation, Denise DosSantos issued a retraction of the invitation - but only to the white members of the Boston City Council.1 Later that day, Michelle Wu issued a public apology. The criticism centered on the fact that Michelle Wu did not apologize for inviting only non-white members, rather, she apologized for inadvertently sending the invitation to all members of the Boston City Council stating that it was an “honest mistake”. In addressing the controversy, Michelle Wu said that a separate holiday party was planned “for all elected officials”.2

The racist party she hosted is serious enough to deserve it's own section. Racism is serious and deserves to be more than a small sub note under "Controveries".
I propose updating the page to properly reflect this. 37.66.181.48 ( talk) 17:51, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
