Revere Leaders Back Senator Ed Markey for Re-Election

Mayor Keefe, Senator Edwards, Representatives Giannino and Turco, and Councillor Paul Argenzio back Markey’s fight for working families, health care, workers’ rights, transit, and climate resilience

BOSTON, Mass. – Revere leaders today endorsed Senator Ed Markey for re-election to the Senate, backing his fight for working families, immigrant communities, seniors, strong public schools, small businesses, workers’ rights, and neighborhoods facing the growing threat of climate change.

The endorsers include Revere Mayor Patrick Keefe, City Councillor Paul Argenzio, and former city councilor Juan Jaramillo. They join State Senator Lydia Edwards, State Representatives Jessica Giannino and Jeffrey Turco — all of whom represent Revere on Beacon Hill and have previously endorsed Senator Markey.

The leaders cited Senator Markey’s record of delivering for Revere – from fighting back against Donald Trump’s Medicaid cuts and standing with workers demanding safer conditions, to securing federal investments for the Wonderland transit corridor, senior housing, and climate resilience along Revere’s shoreline.

“Revere is a union city, an immigrant city, and a working-class city – and Senator Ed Markey understands what that means,” said Revere Mayor Patrick Keefe. “When our families need affordable health care, when our public schools need more federal funding, when our seniors need housing security, and when our workers need a fighter, Senator Markey always shows up and delivers. He stood with us in Revere against Trump’s Medicaid cuts, and he stood with warehouse workers outside Amazon to demand safety, dignity, and fair working conditions. Revere needs a senator who fights for working families, and that senator is Ed Markey.”

“This election is about who is fighting for working families in Revere – on affordability, health care, housing, public schools, immigrant rights, and the future of our shoreline,” said State Senator Lydia Edwards. “Ed Markey has always stood with working families – defending Medicaid from Trump’s cuts, fighting for climate resilience along our shoreline, and delivering federal investments that strengthen Revere’s future. At a time when families are being squeezed and our communities are under attack, we need to send Ed Markey back to the Senate because he is a fighter for Revere, for working people, and for all of Massachusetts.”

“Revere and Saugus are communities built by working families, immigrants, union members, and people who work hard every single day to give their kids a better life,” said State Representative Jessica Giannino. “Senator Ed Markey has consistently shown up for communities like ours and delivered real results — from helping secure federal funding for the Wonderland Commuter Rail Station and Blue Line connector to fighting back against cuts to Medicaid that would impact seniors, veterans, children, and people with disabilities. He understands the importance of investing in working-class communities, and I am proud to support his re-election.”

“What matters to me is whether we have a leader in Washington who delivers for Revere – for our veterans, our seniors, our first responders, our students, our small businesses, and the working families who keep this district running,” said State Representative Jeffrey Turco. “Senator Markey has delivered, from federal transit investments at Wonderland to fighting back against Medicaid cuts that would devastate families and community health care. He has earned my support.”

“Senator Ed Markey has always understood that communities like Revere deserve a government that sees us, hears us, and delivers for us. Ed has fought for environmental justice, immigrant justice, workers’ rights, affordable housing, and a fair economy that gives every family a real shot,” said Juan Jaramillo, a former city councillor. “From protecting frontline communities from pollution and climate change to standing up for civil rights and dignity for all, Ed brings justice to the center of every fight. I’m proud to support his re-election because Revere and Massachusetts need a Senator who shows up, listens, and never backs down.”

“Senator Ed Markey has been a strong partner for communities like Revere — a city that knows the importance of good jobs, safe neighborhoods, reliable public transit, and protecting our coast from the climate crisis,” said City Councillor Paul Argenzio. “Ed understands the needs of working families and has always fought to bring resources back to Massachusetts. I’m proud to support his re-election because Revere needs a Senator who shows up, listens, and delivers.”

Senator Markey thanked the Revere elected leaders for their support:

“Revere is a working-class city that knows what it means to fight – for a good job, a safe workplace, affordable health care, secure housing, strong public schools, and a better future for the next generation,” said Senator Ed Markey. “That is the fight I carry with me every day in the Senate. I am proud to earn the endorsements of Revere’s elected leaders, because they know what Revere families know: workers deserve dignity, seniors deserve security, immigrants deserve respect, and every family deserves a fair shot.
