THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 Page 3 ~ POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT ~ John Kingston Announces Re-Election Campaign for At-Large School Committee John Kingston School Committee candidate M y name is John Kingston and I am excited to announce my re-election campaign for an at large seat on the Revere School Committee. As our school system evolves, with six ward representatives, two at-large seats, and the Mayor as Chairperson, I am committed to continuing my service to our community. I chose to run at-large because I am passionate about maintaining relationships with all our schools, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose. As a lifelong resident and proud graduate of Revere Public Schools, I have a deep understanding of our community needs and aspirations. My educational journey from Revere High School continued at Bentley University, where I gained valuable insights into business and leadership. Education has always been at the heart of my family. My father, George Kingston, dedicated over 30 years to serving as a Revere Elementary Principal, inspiring countless minds. I vividly remember spending countless summers helping him prepare classrooms, rewarded with a special lunch at McDonald’s for a job well done. My father encouraged my brother, Chris Kingston, to pursue a career in teaching, and for over 25 years, Chris has been making a positive impact at Revere Public Schools. My father also saw the potential in my daughter, Jennifer Kingston, and encouraged her to be a teacher. Jenn is a dedicated educator at the Whelan School. My partner, Heather Roberts, and now her daughter, Taryn Roberts, are also part of our educational community at the Beachmont School. Through my work at Revere Municipal Employees Credit Union, spanning over 20 years, I have developed a unique understanding of our school system, from the cafeteria workers to the central offi ce. This experience has given me a broad perspective on the educational process and importance of community involvement. As a long time PTA Dad, I volunteered countless hours, supporting my children’s educational journey. I continued to serve, even after my kids graduated, earning recognition from the School Committee for my dedication. I have also had the privilege of volunteering on school improvement councils, working collaboratively to drive positive change. I am proud of my children, Jennifer and Jeff, who are both making a diff erence in our community. Jennifer is a teacher at the Whelan School and Jeff is a Revere Police offi cer. My family is committed to giving back, and I am fortunate to be part of this tradition. As Vice President of Business Development for St Jean’s Credit Union, I have had the opportunity to engage in various community initiatives, promoting financial literacy and supporting local organizations. I am thrilled to be a part of the fi nancial literacy program at the Garfi eld Middle School and Lincoln Thomson School in Lynn, empowering students with essential life skills. Through this work, I gain valuable insights into the educational landscape, both in Revere and beyond. I am proud to support various organizations in our city, including the Revere Unifi ed Sports programs, which bring together students with and without disabilities, promoting inclusivity and teamwork. As a longtime supporter of high school sports, I have had the privilege of witnessing the transformative power of athletics in our community. My father’s wise words, ‘put your money where your mouth is’ resonate deeply with me. I believe in investing in our schools and community organizations demonstrating my commitment to our shared values. As a lifelong resident, graduate of Revere Public Schools, and dedicated public servant, I am confi dent that my unique blend of experience, passion, and community spirit make an ideal candidate for re-election. I humbly ask for your continued support, and I look forward to serving our community with dedication and enthusiasm. You can reach me at Johnkingston4revere@ gmail.com or 617.733.5422. Thank you.
