“As a lifelong Beachmont resident and community advocate I am proud to announce my candidacy for Ward 1 Councilor in the upcoming Revere City election. With deep roots in the neighborhood and decades of dedication to the city I call home, I am stepping forward to bring strong, dependable leadership to Ward 1 and City Hall – leadership grounded in experience, transparency, and genuine care for the people of Ward 1. I strongly believe this campaign isn’t about politics. It’s about people. It’s about listening, showing up, and standing up for the families and neighborhoods of Ward 1 that make Revere strong.”
