OK, the Tuesday off-year elections last week were a downer, but we keep finding bright spots.

And this result is worth celebrating:

“I believe in empowering the individual and limited government. I chose to become a Libertarian on my registration because it spoke to who I was.”

Ms. Wu won with nearly 60% of the vote against an entrenched incumbent. She is a 39-year-old Asian immigrant from Guatemala, the first person in her family to graduate from college, and a registered member of the Libertarian Party.

Now she’s the mayor of one of the 50 largest cities in America.

Her issues are better schools, “public safety,” and being “more responsible with the money that is being sent to us by taxpayers.”

Keep an eye on this woman. She has a very bright political future.
