I decided on Primary Election Day which ballot to choose, and it all depends on who the candidates are and if there is a race on the ballot being contested and I have a certain candidate I wish to vote for. In the 2016 and 2020 presidential election, I went Republican. In 2022, I went Democrat and this year, I went Democrat, too. Usually, I can’t stand my US Senator Ed Markey — most of the time I think he is useless but, once again, I am reminded that like a broken clock is right twice a day. Even Markey can be right, as in his recent support for warehouse workers. He was recently in the city of Revere along with other local politicians supporting his Warehouse Worker Protection Act off ering valuable worker protections. Senator Markey, along with senators Tina Smith, D-MN and Bob Casey, D-PA, introduced their legislation this past May 2. There wasn’t one Republican in the Senate who could support this legislation? I have been a member of AFSCME for over 51 years. My Irish grandfather from West Cork came to America back in 2006 and was a member of the International Longshoremen’s Association, and I have always supported organized labor both in the public sector and in trades unions. Kudos to Markey for doing the right thing in co-sponsoring this vital piece of legislation. He may seem like a broken clock from time to time, but on this issue, the time is now to get behind Markey. Who knows when I will support him again, but for now, I am. NEXT WEEK: I recently met and talked with actor Jerry Mathers, who played the Beaver on TV back in the 50s and 60s and even got a photo with him. I also found out that I am just a month older than him. I loved Leave it to Beaver growing up and will expand on his recent appearance up in Saugus next week. A banner for the 1964 Revere High School football team will be hung in the Revere High School fi eld house. On hand from the 1964 Revere High School football team displaying the banner were, Victor Mancini, Paul Nuell, Phil Alexander, John DelGaizo, Jack Stasio, Bob Medeiros, Bob Carrabes, Frank Adreottola and Frank Bloom. A documentary fi lm about the team and produced by RHS coach Brandon Britto is in production and set to release November 23, 2024, a week before the Thanksgiving Day game.
