THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, October 4 , 2019 Page 5 ~ POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT ~ D’Ambrosio announces bid for School Committee I t is with a great sense of humility and excitement that I declare my candidacy for the Revere School Committee. Election Day is Tuesday, November 5, 2019, and I am asking for your vote. Please consider me because of: My Deep Community Roots: My family spans three generations in the City of Revere. My grandfather, Antonio D’Ambrosio, immigrated to Revere in 1972 and started a successful landscaping business, Revere Gardens Company. My father, Attorney Gerry D’Ambrosio, was raised in the City and has operated a law office on Proctor Avenue since 1998. I was raised on Taft Street, played baseball on the old McMackin Field, and attended the Paul Revere School. I currently live at 33 Prospect Avenue. My Education: My family strongly believes in the transformative power of education and pushed me to study hard.

I graduated from Phillips Academy (Diploma), Yale University (B.A.), and the University of Cambridge, UK (Master’s).

For this reason, I seek a position on the Revere School Committee. I wish to give back. I hope to contribute to a better Revere. My Relevant Work History: I have significant experience working with public school children and have taught on disability and mental health issues. As a Community Health Educator from 2015 to 2017, I worked directly with children and school administrators on developing new strategies to overcome the many psychological and physical challenges that children face today. Then, from 2016 to 2018, I served as the Coordinator (leader) of Dwight Hall, a 3,500-person non-profit organization that provided community-based services, ranging from early childhood education to youth homelessness relief. During those years, I worked “handson” to provide better social services to those in need. My Campaign Focuses: Creating improved access to resources for children with learning and physical disabilities is one of the cornerstones of my campaign. The CDC estimates that nearly one in every five American children faces some sort of learning disability.
