Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, August 2, 2019 More than 30 candidates make the ballot for fall elections One mayoral candidate withdraws; two primary elections expected By Tara Vocino T he mayoral race is down to two candidates and two primary elections are expected for the councillor-at-large and Ward 6 races. A total of 34 candidates will appear on the ballot this fall. Mayor Brian Arrigo and Councillor-at-Large Daniel Rizzo will lock horns in a rematch of their tight 2015 election. A third potential mayoral candidate, Cheryl Whittredge, had taken out nomination papers; however, she didn’t submit signatures for certifi cation by the 5 p.m. deadline on July 23, according to Colella. As a result, there won’t be a primary election in the mayoral race. Rather, Arrigo and Rizzo will advance to the General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 5. “Each candidate needs 50 signatures, but we ask for 70 in case any signatures bounce back,” Election Commissioner Diane Colella said. The biggest contest on Election Day is the councillorat-large race, where 13 candidates are running for five seats, Colella said. The primary election will be on Tuesday, Sept. 10. Four at-large incumbents, Jessica Giannino, Steven Morabito, George Rotondo and Anthony Zambuto, are seeking reelection for twoyear terms. Richard Ireton recently pulled nomination papers to run for an at-large seat. Gregg LaCedra was the only at-large candidate who didn’t return papers and is, therefore, out of the race, Colella said. School Committee Member Gerry Visconti is seeking an atlarge seat while retired Fire Lt. John Correggio is looking to return to the City Council. Robert Capoccia, Dimple Rana, Wayne Rose, Philip Russo, Kevin Sanchez and Brian Vesce are also running for at-large seats. The Ward 6 seat is currently occupied by Charles Patch, who decided not to seek reelection, Colella said. Therefore, Nicholas Moulaison, Sr., Francis Sarro and Richard Serino are running to replace Patch. The top two fi nishers in the Sept. 10 primary will advance to the General Election. Two incumbent ward councillors will face competition in the General Election. Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky and challenger Robert Bent will appear on the November ballot. Ward 5 Councillor John Powers and challenger Eric Lampedecchio will also meet in a rematch from the 2017 race. Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna, Ward 3 Councillor Arthur Guinasso and Ward 4 Councillor Patrick Keefe are running unopposed, according to the nomination papers. In the School Committee race, there are nine candidates running for six seats. The fi ve incumbents are Stacey Rizzo, Michael Ferrante, Susan Gravellese, Frederick Sannella and Carol Tye; all of them are seeking reelection. They are being challenged by Anthony D’Ambrosio, John Kingston, Albert Terminiello, Jr. and Michael Toto. Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com.
