THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2025 Page 17 ~ LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR ~ In Support of Ralph DeCicco School Committee At Large Candidate D ear Editor, I am writing today as a resident and voter of the City of Revere to express my support for my dear friend, Ralph DeCicco, who is running for an at-large position on the Revere School Committee. This year, the School Committee will operate with a new format featuring two at-large seats, and Ralph is a candidate for one of them. I believe that Ralph would bring a unique perspective to the School Committee, which would truly set him apart from the other candidates. As the parent of one current Revere Public Schools student and one recent graduate, he is invested in the state of our school system now — he understands the needs of Revere families and will work to strengthen Revere Public Schools in the present and for the future. As the Chair of the Revere Commission on Disabilities and a member of the commission for nearly a decade, Ralph has experience in advocating for a vulnerable population that is often overlooked, and he has delivered in that role. Ralph’s dedication to the City of Revere and its residents is admirable, and his work ethic speaks for itself in the best possible way — if elected, he will work tirelessly for the families of Revere Public Schools. Regular readers of your publication may already be familiar with Ralph’s qualifi cations and experience. However, as a friend of Ralph’s and a voter in Revere, I would like to introduce my neighbors to the Ralph that I know and respect. In addition to being a dedA.C.
