Kelley, raised in a union family in Revere and who worked her way through school, said she was honored to receive the support of Local 2222. “It means a lot to me that the men and women of Local 2222 want me to have their backs on the City Council,” Kelley said. “They don’t want a councillor who’s going to cave to what outside developers want to pad their bottom lines; they want someone who’s going to fi ght for what’s fair.” Criticizing proposals that routinely bend the municipal zoning code authored by Revere residents, Kelley has raised concerns regarding infrastructure, congestion, and keeping quality of life for Revere residents a priority. “People want someone who listens to their concerns and stands up for them without fear of intimidation.
