The Revere Advocate is proud to endorse Dan Rizzo for Mayor

It is with great honor to endorse Dan Rizzo for mayor.  Dan, currently councilor-at-large following his one term in the corner office, was instrumental in its change, especially on Broadway following a historical event – a tornado that reaped a path of destruction throughout Broadway ending just after Brown Circle. Dan was also instrumental in not only reviving the downtown business district, but returning pride back to the heart of the Revere Beach. Dan also had the vision to work with the Governor and the MBTA to expand transit-oriented development in promoting and following through with the mixed-use project that we now see today at Wonderland Station. Dan also held taxes in check, added 20 police officers to the ranks, and built a long overdue Harry Dello Russo Football Stadium and new Hill School.  This wasn’t an easy decision as Patrick Keefe, who has earned his stripes as a ward councilor and has dedicated his time to the city, has put up an honorable campaign which he, his family, and supporters should be proud. Whatever the outcome on Tuesday, Revere is in good hands and I congratulate both candidates for their hard work and dedication to Revere. I would also like to offer my endorsement to the following candidates: For city council, Joanne McKenna in ward one; Ira Novoselsky in ward 2; Councillor-at-Large, Anthony Zambuto, Marc Silvestri, Alexander Rhalimi, Robert Haas, Michelle Kelley, and Juan Jaramillo. For School Committee; John Kingston and Anthony Caggiano. – James Mitchell, Publisher.
