THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, September 6, 2019 ~ Letter to the Editor ~ Page 5 Ricky Serino seeks Ward 6 Council Seat Dear Residents of Ward 6, As a candidate seeking to be your Ward Councillor, I pen this letter today to humbly ask for the consideration of your vote in the City’s Preliminary Election this coming Tuesday, September 10th. I am running because I believe my community involvement from childhood to the present day, coupled with my professional experience advocating for the people of Revere in the office of our State Representative for over five years, has provided me with the necessary tools to impact a positive and meaningful difference in Ward 6. I have said my vision for our ward and our city is seen through the lens of a young professional who has grown up in Revere and who intends to raise a family here. With roots that stretch over 100 years in this community, as Ward 6’s Councillor, I feel that I would be the bridge between the Revere of the past and the Revere of the future. If elected, I am not only going to be thinking about the Revere of tomorrow or in five years – I will be a leader who will work to lay the groundwork for an even better Revere for the next generation so that my children and grandchildren will continue to call Revere home. This means I will continue to conduct myself as I always have – ready to serve and lend a helping hand to my neighbors. I will continue to focus on working hard each day to make our quality of life better and to continue to make Revere the best community it possibly can be. Those who know me know that I have always held our city in high regard. I love Revere and the people who make our community so great, which is why I kept my roots here, even during my time at Saint Anselm College. Since 2010, I have had a professional connection to the office of Revere’s State Representative. Throughout my college years, I chose to continue to intern at the State House because I wanted to gain firsthand knowledge about the policy issues that impacted Revere and the Commonwealth. It was during that time, in the heat of the Legislature’s debate on Expanded Gaming, that I realized the critical role the Wonderland and Suffolk Downs sites would play in the future of Revere. It was during the internship, too, that I learned about the state budget process and how important programs like CAPIC’s Emergency Services Program and State Police Directed Patrols on Revere Beach are to our city. In those years, I also began to understand the important role elected officials play in delivering constituent services to the people they represent. Be it something as mundane as trimming brush on state property abutting Route 1 to something as dire as helping an elderly constituent who does not have any food in their refrigerator, I learned how to help Revere residents navigate the vast web of local and state government, and lead them to organizations who are able to help vulnerable populations. Upon graduation from Saint Anselm College, I chose to enter a career in public service because I not only wanted to continue helping people, but I wanted to help the people of my city and play a small role in the future direction of Revere. Working in the office of Representative RoseLee Vincent has not only given me the opportunity to interact with many of you, but it has given me a unique, frontseat perspective to the issues facing our city. From traffic to flooding; economic development to education; public safety to the environment; to providing quality programming for our seniors, children and teens, being a legislative staffer has not only helped me grasp the issues that are important to the voters of Revere, but has also given me the skills necessary to SERINO | SEE PAGE 9 We Carry... * 100% Waterproof LVT Flooring * Ceramic, Porcelain & Stone Tile * Hardwood Prefinished and Unfinished, Do-it-Yourselfer Products!
