Jaramillo endorsed by longtime Ward 3 City Councillor Guinasso

Former Ward 3 City Councillor Arthur Guinasso endorsed Juan Pablo Jaramillo for Revere Councillor-at-Large. Councillor Guinasso was the Dean of the Revere City Council up until his shocking retirement in 2021.

Guinasso, who served with five different Revere Mayors (Colella, Haas, Ambrosino, Rizzo and Arrigo), said of Juan, “I met Juan years ago and was impressed by his kindness. He is a true gentleman. Juan has a vision for our city and while respectful of its history is also the future of our city.”

Jaramillo said, “Policy making that positively impacts the city, its working families, seniors, and young people alike can only be achieved through civility and by hearing each other out. That’s why I am so proud to receive this endorsement, because for nearly 40 years Councilor Guinasso was the voice of reason on the council, calling for us to ‘be kind to each other,’” a nod to Guinasso’s farewell speech. Jaramillo added that he hoped “to carry that legacy of policy making and consensus building for the city’s governing board.”

Jaramillo has now been endorsed by a flurry of former and current elected officials, among them former Mayor Brian Arrigo, School Committeewoman Stacey Rizzo, current Ward 1 City Councillor/City Council President Pro Tempore Joanne McKenna and former State Senator Joe Boncore, who represented Revere in the Massachusetts State Senate.

If all the announced candidates make the ballot, there will be a preliminary election in the Councillor-at-Large race on September 19 – with the general election to happen on November 7.
