THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2023 Page 7 Why I Decided to Run For Councillor At Large By Michelle Kelley- At Large Candidate Being a lifelong Revere resident, working my way through college and then law school, while generally living what most would call a quiet life, I even surprised myself when I decided to run for Councilor At Large. So, it’s not surprising that my campaign hasn’t been about headlines, being an attentiongetter or being in the spotlight all the time —- it’s been about you! It’s about giving you a voice. It’s about your quality-of-life. It’s about making sure your best interests are being protected & served at all times. PROUDLYENDORSED BY : ATTORNEY I got involved because my neighbors and I didn’t like the way the city was being run, and because we felt that decisions were being made on our behalf – in our name, and with our tax dollars – without adequate input from us. From YOU! I got involved because I didn’t like the way decisions about the Biolab at Suffolk Downs were made - without adequate due diligence and full transparency. And, I felt a responsibility to bring my experience as a lifelong resident and as an attorney to that issue which resulted in significant policy changes through perseverance and hard work. I got involved because I didn’t like the way I saw seniors were being treated. The way residents didn’t have a voice in the way out-of-town developers were building in their neighborhoods. I got involved because it became evident to me that the residents need a voice — and we need a “neighborhood watch” approach that will look out for the best interests & quality of life of the residents of Revere. I got involved to bring that same “neighborhood watch” approach over the city budget because those are taxpayer dollars. That’s your money. And I’ve STAYED involved because I know I can be your voice on the City Council. And, most importantly, because your voice does matter. It matters to me and it should matter to everyone at City Hall. As an attorney, being an advocate comes naturally to me and I will be your advocate at City Hall. That means, first & foremost, listening to you and taking your interests and ideas and turning them into action and not allowing your interests to be silenced by deep pockets and political connections. Thank you for all the support over the last six months. I’ve lived in Revere my whole life, and I love it, but I love it in a different way now —- now that I’ve had the opportunity to hear all your stories and concerns and it’s only intensified my commitment to serve as YOUR VOICE! Elect me and I promise you will always have a voice at City Hall. I’m Michelle Kelley and I humbly & respectfully ask for your vote on or before November 7th! Paid for by the CMTE Michelle Kelley
