THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 23, 2021 Page 11 ~ POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT ~ Jason Marcus announces candidacy for Ward 2 School Committee seat H ello and let me reintroduce myself. My name is Jason Marcus. A proud Army Reserve veteran serving as an Army Medic. Many of you may remember me at the Alderman for Ward 2. I served the people of Everett from 1980 to 1992 and again from 1998 until 2012 serving as President a number of times. Growing up in the diverse Dorchester section of Boston gave me the insight on how city government can help its people. With this in mind, I have always looked for ways to make life a little easier for families, children, and our seniors. I supported and advocated for all of the new schools that the children of Everett have enjoyed for the past 15 years. I focused on the quality of life for all of Everett, for example, by enacting a stringent dumpster ordinance. Coaching has been a big part of my life, watching children grow to become productive adults is my life’s reward. I brought children together that did not know each other and made them one cohesive team. I have always looked at uniting people by bringing them together at city events Jason Marcus Ward 2 School Committee Candidate and having strangers become friends. This is what Everett is all about. We are one people; we are one Everett. In closing, please ask others about me. If you want to continue to make our city great, please consider me in this election as your candidate for School Committee in Ward 2. Thank you!

Surveillance footage showed the driver of the Honda passing Louis, turning around and then driving back in Louis’s direction. Louis then allegedly fired his gun, striking the car and a nearby residence. Police later recovered two shell casings, an ammunition magazine and a bullet that was lodged in a home on Shute Street. Louis was taken into police custody on the evening of July 20. He is now facing charges of possession of a firearm, possession of a loaded firearm, attempted assault and battery by a firearm and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling. “I’m glad we were able to work effectively and efficiently in identifying the suspect and gathering evidence without further violence,” said Police Chief Steven Mazzie. “Once again, this is a great example of teamwork amongst law enforcement professionals to reduce violence in our communities.” Louis was arraigned on July 21 in Malden District Court. Judge Emily Karstetter ordered that he be held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing on July 26. “This type of reckless gun violence has no place in our communities,” said Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan. “Over the past several weeks, we have seen multiple incidents of brazen shootings resulting in serious injury and in some instances, death.
