Large voter turnout expected on Tuesday Election Commissioner predicts 43 percent voter turnout By Alexis Mikulski
W
ith only days left until the citywide elections, campaigns around the community are gearing up to find out their fate on Nov. 5. The mayoral contest between
incumbent Mayor Brian Arrigo and Councillor-at-Large Dan Rizzo has been contentious at best with both sides buckling down through the summer. Last week a debate held at the Susan B. Anthony School pitted the two candidates against one-another,
with questions being presented by members of the Revere High School debate team. As expected, things got heated as audience members cheered in support of their favorite candidate. Dan Rizzo, who previously served as mayor from 2013 un-
til 2016, says he feels extremely confident about the upcoming election. “Our base of supporters is ready to take on Election Day, and we believe that in the end, voters will remember the many good things I did as mayor,” he said.
Rizzo says he has personally knocked on thousands of doors throughout the city and has had conversations with people who feel like change is desperately needed in Revere.
