Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2021 We’re Just Getting Started Being a City Councillor has taught me that nothing is accomplished alone and it takes teamwork to get the job done. Since I was first elected, I have worked tirelessly to build the relationships it takes to be an effective public servant. I have worked even harder to earn your trust and build your confidence by ensuring your needs continue to be met by City Hall in an efficient manner and that your voice continues to be heard. I’m still as excited to do this job as I was on the day I was first elected. ~ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ~ As our City emerges from the In Everett, people expect one thing from their elected officials; results. As your city councilor, I have ensured that your tax dollars continue to be spent wisely on public safety resources, the education of our students, infrastructure improvements and the beautification of our city. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, I worked closely with and supported the DeMaria Administration’s efforts to distribute masks, food, financial assistance, testing and vaccines to residents that were in need. COVID-19 Pandemic, the future is bright. We are in a position that other cities can only envy, as we have the means to transform formerly blighted and contaminated industrial sites into major new employers for our residents. For the first time in generations, we have access to waterfront parks and open spaces that give the city’s children more room to play and grow up healthy. This will all continue to happen with private investment in our community and not your local tax dollars. Everett’s best years are undoubtedly ahead of us. Look around and you will see positive change everywhere. Confidence in our community is high. People believe in Everett. We must work together to make sure that we maximize all of this positive growth while protecting and improving our quality of life. The decisions we make today will shape our city for generations to come and we must work closely together to seize every opportunity for positive action. While we are an exceptional city, we face some of the same problems that every major city across the country faces, like making sure that our residents can afford to live here and that our families struggling with the health problem of addiction can access the resources and support they need. We must continue to work together on these challenges that impact so many of our residents, while recognizing what a privilege it is to perhaps be able to truly help with the issues that touch people’s lives. Our work in city government is not about any one of us, it’s about all of us and the community we live in. By working as a team, we have positively impacted the lives of the people of Everett. Serving on the Everett City Council has been a tremendous honor and I look forward to continuing serving the residents of Ward Three. On Tuesday, November 2, I humbly ask for your vote so I can continue to serve the City I love. Sincerely, Anthony DiPierro Ward 3 Councillor In Support of Mayor DeMaria Dear Editor: I am writing to you about the very important choice we have to make in the upcoming election on November 2. This is the first time I have written a letter to the editor in support of a candidate. This seems like an important time to speak up. We have two candidates running for. Mayor, I feel Mayor Carlo DeMaria has the edge because of his networking capabilities and his “can do” approach. I have been a resident in Everett since 1958, I went to grammar school and high school in Everett. I worked in Everett for 44 years. Over the years, I have seen Mayor DeMaria take on community tasks that seemed difficult to accomplish, but he got them done. He is an example of what most politicians are not – responsive, honest, respectful and communicative. He cares about the Everett Community, the students and SCHOLARSHIP | FROM PAGE 4 Class of 2020 John and Abigail Adams Scholarship Recipients: Everett Darnelle Felisier Carissa Loesch Uyen Nguyen Nicholas Prezioso Ayman Ramzy the seniors. He grew up in Everett, attending the schools. It means so much to him to keep Everett the beautiful city that it is. I know several people who drive through Melrose, Malden and other communities and have commented how beautiful Everett is. Why?…because Mayor DeMaria takes pride in this city. I have never seen Mayor DeMaria take on anything that did not get done successfully, nor have I ever seen him approach a task without an enormous amount of confidence and enthusiasm. I am a supporter of his candidacy for reelection to be the Mayor of this fine city and you could only benefit by being a supporter as well. For these reasons, I am urging you to vote for reelection for Mayor Carlo DeMaria when you visit the ballot box. I am proud to endorse him for Mayor on November 2nd.
