~ Letter-to-the-Editor ~ Anthony DiPierro – A Leader Who Listens

Dear Ward Three Neighbors,

I’m running to be your City Councilor to ensure our neighborhood gets the very best from City Government and the attention it deserves. During my tenure representing our Ward, I’ve built the relationships necessary to effectively get the job done and help residents navigate City Hall. I’ve spent the entire summer knocking on doors to hear your concerns because taking the knowledge you learn on doorsteps back to City Hall is how you make government work for all.

The most rewarding part of campaigning is always meeting voters at their doors, and listening to their concerns and hopes for our neighborhood, and our city. Ward 3 needs a leader who listens and brings what they hear to the City Council. What’s clear from meeting hundreds of you during this campaign, is that we need civil, level-headed leadership in our Ward and City. I’m proud of my record serving Everett, and I’m ready to use the relationships I’ve built to get to work for everyone in Everett.

While I’ve spent this campaign talking about what I have to offer our Ward, my opponent has spent his time talking about me, to distract you from his record, or lack thereof. He has not passed a single piece of meaningful legislation and he continuously votes against the needs of our Ward Three. While Ward Three serves as home to three public housing communities, my opponent ran away from his chair when it was time to re-appoint two members of the Everett Housing Authority. Furthermore, my opponent voted against placing utilities underground while Elm Street is being reconstructed. While he speaks of Everett being a heat island, he voted against the continuation of work at Glenwood Cemetery that would have planted more trees and new graves for Veterans. These votes make our streets less safe, our utility services less reliable and the accessibility of affordable and beautiful final resting places for our residents unattainable. My opponent’s votes have held back our Ward and our City.

This election is about you, the people of Ward Three getting a leader that can build consensus and work with the administration to ensure the needs of our ward are met. My opponent says the job is 70% budget. I say it’s 70% constituent services and being able to deliver those services to your doorstep. That’s the clear difference that distinguishes the two of us. This election, I humbly ask for your vote so I can get back to work for Ward Three and all of Everett. Big words don’t get the job done, big work does.

Vote Anthony DiPierro, a leader who listens. Because actions speak louder than words.

Thank you,

Anthony DiPierro

Candidate for City Councilor, Ward 3
