Page 22 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2020 DEMOCRATS | FROM PAGE 1 community Revere is, and for that, I believe that with Ed Markey in the Senate, Revere won’t just be one of the Commonwealth’s 351 cities and towns – our city will be among the forefront of his mind,” he added. City Council President Patrick Keefe, on the other hand, is among the state Democrats who have put their political capital down on Kennedy and given him a 6-8-point lead in recent polls. “It’s time to bring up the next generation of leaders,” said Keefe. “It’s a time for some fresh perspectives.” Keefe feels that Kennedy will be a stronger voice for Massachusetts. “I have no dislike for Markey, but after 40 years he’s still talking about some of the same social issues,” said Keefe, who added that Markey’s longstanding relationships developed during four decades in Washington will make it hard for him to break with the party line. “I know it’s diffi cult to have challenges in your party, but I think it’s important to keep the stronger player,” he added. Keefe acknowledged that Kennedy and Keefe are not far apart on most issues. “They are both well informed on health care, immigration and environmental issues,” he said. He did have reservations about Markey’s decision to jump on board with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ‘s green new deal, which he said is not passable legislation that sways a little too far left and is potentially dangerous for business. “But both have similar stands on the main issues, and I think they share a lot in common,” said Keefe. “The diff erence is one will be more able to accomplish their goals.” But for Serino, all high-profi le senate primaries are local. His support for Markey is deeply rooted in what the senator has done for Revere. “Senator Markey has a record of delivering for the City of Revere – he knows Revere. Regardless of where you stand on national politics, when it comes to supporting his constituents, he has always been there for Revere, fi rst when he was in the House, and for the last seven years as senator,” said Serino, who credited Markey with securing federal funds for the construction of the Wonderland Garage and the footbridge on Revere Beach, which transformed America’s First Public Beach. “I was proud to serve as a surrogate for Senator Ed Markey to the Caucus, and I am appreciative to the Senator for always being there for Revere,” he said.
