THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 5, 2023 Page 5 ~ POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT ~ Lifelong Resident Michelle Kelley Announces At-Large Bid for Revere City Council Will bring “neighborhood watch” approach, transparency to city government V owing to bring transparency and accountability to city government, lifelong resident and small business owner Michelle Kelley announced her campaign to be Revere’s next AtLarge City Councilor. Kelley, an attorney and realtor, outlined a “neighborhood watch” approach to governing and said she will help neighborhoods confronted by an onslaught of irresponsible development. “It’s time that the government of Revere is restored to the people of Revere,” Kelley said. “I’ve lived here my whole life, started a business here, and watched with dismay as deals get made to the detriment of quality of life here. I’m running to be an AtLarge City Councillor because Revere citizens deserve to know that their voices matter.” The proud granddaughter of immigrants, Kelley lives with her MICHELLE KELLEY City Council Candidate husband, David, in West Revere. Kelley believes that hard work is the path to the American dream, and that seniors have earned the right to live in their homes and in the neighborhoods they have helped build. A more responsive city government, she said, means listening to Revere residents, rather than dictating from City Hall. “That’s how I want to make decisions,” Kelley said. “I want to know what people think about the issues. I’ll be working for them and I will be their voice.” “We need a new high school,” Kelley continued, “and we need to be fi scally responsible about how we conceive, design, and pay for it. We aren’t doing future generations any favors if we aren’t thinking strategically about how to move forward, and doing so with taxpayers in mind.” In holding city leaders to account, Kelley helped engineer policy changes during the debate over the allowance of the biolab at Suffolk Downs.
