Revere Council President Mark Silvestri announces reelection bid, highlights housing, schools and public safety

Mark Silvestri, Revere City Council president, said he is running for reelection and asked voters to give him one of five at-large councilor votes on Nov. 4, citing housing affordability, the new Revere High School and support for first responders as central priorities.

Silvestri framed his campaign as focused on keeping housing affordable and growing the local economy while protecting seniors, veterans and small businesses. “The future of Revere depends on keeping housing affordable and growing our economy the right way,” he said. He added that growth should “create jobs and opportunities without pushing families out of the city they love.”

Silvestri said he has long supported local education and pointed to the Revere High School project, saying he “fought for a new Revere High School built in the right place for all the right reasons.” On public safety, he said he has stood “shoulder to shoulder with Revere police, firefighters, and municipal workers, securing fair wages, reliable schedules, and the tools they need to protect our neighborhoods.” He added, “When our first responders are supported, every family and business in Revere is safe.”

The remarks combined biographical background, policy priorities and a specific vote request. Silvestri identified his upbringing in Revere and described his commitment to the city as motivation for seeking another term. He closed by reiterating his campaign message of “leadership you can depend on.”
