People are looking for a change from the previous administration, especially in regard to development, traffi c and safety.” Many politicians past and present and friends of Rizzo showed up to see and be seen. Former State Representative RoseLee Vincent recalled that she started that job in 2014 around the same time Rizzo became Mayor. “Revere was hit with tornados and he called me about getting our legislative delegation together,” she said. “I saw leadership in an unexpected situation. He took charge. I was in awe how he handled the situation and brought Revere together. When he was Mayor, he also was the only elected offi cial to testify on my bill opposing RESCO, the Wheelabrator trash incinerator and came to testify on other bills.” She feels Rizzo “has strong support. I’m confi dent he’ll be one of the two in the fi nal election,” but still knows “Revere politics are hard to predict.” Other politicians at the luau, as it was called, included City Council President Pro Tempore/ Ward 1 City Councillor Joanne McKenna, School Committee member Aisha Milbury-Ellis, City Council candidates Paul Argenzio, Brian Averback, Steve Damiano, Angela Guarino-Sawaya, Bob Haas, Greg Murray, Anthony Parziale and Wayne Rose and School Committee candidates Anthony Caggiano, who is also a member of the Northeast Metro Tech School Committee, and John Kingston. Among friends was Jannine Ellis, mother-in-law of Milbury-Ellis and former head of the Department of Consumer Aff airs. “When Dan was Mayor, it was wonderful,” she said. “It was like a family and we need that unity now.” She also feels Rizzo “will get through the primary. I have the feeling he’ll go all the way. I’ve been holding signs and we’ve gotten a tremendous response.” Candidate for mayor Dan Rizzo with State Representative Jeffrey Turco.
