BOSTON - Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has announced that she is pregnant and will welcome her third child in January. 

"Conor, Blaise, Cass, and I can't wait to welcome another little one to our family and to Boston," Wu said in an email to supporters Monday night. "It hasn't been an easy journey, but I'm due in January and couldn't be more grateful."

Wu, 39, told the Boston Globe that she plans to run for reelection next year.

"I've been a mom and caregiver as long as I've been in public service," Wu said. "It's that daily juggle—and the struggles and dreams of families across our neighborhoods—that keep me grounded in the work and moving with urgency."
