THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 3, 2023 Page 15 ELECTION | FROM PAGE 1 want more affordable housing, to stop overcrowding in our schools and to find solutions to parking limitations and traffic.” Newcomer David Senatillaka is trying to reach out to voters who may not monitor or even be aware of all the political events in the city or vote in every election. “I’ve noticed some people who are not into politics don’t even know there’s an election,” he said. “The challenge for politicians and candidates is getting the word out and doing a better job of explaining the importance of local elections. Most of the policies that affect dayto-day living are made at the local level.” The undercard is comprised of ward races. In Ward 1 it’s between Kenneth Giannelli and incumbent Wayne Matewsky; in Ward 2, Joetta Yutkins and incumbent Stephanie Martins; in Ward 3, Darren Costa and Anthony DiPierro; in Ward 5, Robert Van Campen and incumbent Vivian Nguyen, and in Ward 6, incumbent Alfred Lattanzi and Peter Pietrantonio. “I’m working hard and I’ve been getting positive feedback,” Lattanzi said. “I hope I’ve done a good enough job to win. We want to win this election and will find out when the votes are tallied.” The race drawing a high level of attention is for the School Committee at-large seats. With only six candidates, no preliminary election was required, leaving incumbents Samantha Lambert, Joseph LaMonica and Cynthia Sarnie facing challengers Kristin Bairos, Farah Costa (wife of Darren Costa) and Samantha Hurley. There’ll be at least two new ward representatives due to Michael Mangan stepping down as Ward 4 representative and Michael McLaughlin stepping down as the Ward 6 representative. Robin Babcock and James Mastrocola are running in Ward 4, Thomas Abruzzese and Joseph D’Onofrio in Ward 6. In the other ward races, it’s between incumbent Millie Cardello and Margaret Cornelio in Ward 1 and Joanna Garren and incumbent Jason Marcus in Ward 2.
