" Dan Rizzo gets results. He is a dedicated, trustworthy, and responsive individual who gets the job done. My family recently had an issue that required assistance from a local official and we reached out to Dan for help. Almost immediately the issue began to get the attention it needed and was ultimately resolved. He is definitely someone that you would want representing your interests in local government. We are proud to support him in his candidacy for Mayor of Revere. "

" As current PTO President of the Susan B. Anthony Middle School and former PTA President of the Whelan School, I can't thank Dan enough for all that he's done for our children. Dan has always been a strong supporter of our kids. He contributes to our field days, dances, drama presentations, yearbook . . . etc you name it, Dan has been there!! He's even gone so far as to bring coffee and donuts to our hardworking PTA volunteers on election days. In addition to his financial assistance, Dan is always a participant at our events as well.

          - George J. DeFilippo, Jr., President, Woodlawn Memorials, Inc.

" I’ve met a lot of people in my life and have worked with many politicians over the years. The first thing I like to familiarize myself is with the man himself, who he is, where he comes from, his ideas for success and his ideas on how to right the wrongs in our communities. Honestly I’ve met a lot of superficial politicians who pretend to care about the tasks at hand, but don’t follow through. Dan Rizzo is not one of those people. He’s worked hard to be where he is today, both privately and politically. Being a business owner, I know the trials and tribulations of running a business. Dan has been successful on both platforms. He knows what it takes to be there for people and community. We need to make city better and Dan Rizzo is the man that can do it. "

          - Brian F. Davis, Minuteman Press

" Dan Rizzo is the right man at the right time for the City of Revere. My friendship with Dan began in the late 70’s and since then, I have watched him build a very successful business and family. Having been involved in all of his campaigns has shown me his commitment to the citizens of Revere, a second to none work ethic, a willingness to disagree respectfully, and a passion to lead Revere through the turbulent times they face. There has never been a more important time for voters to understand the need for strong, well thought out leadership. The City of Revere and all cities and towns in the Commonwealth will need their Mayor to be a consensus builder, a thinker and a doer. Most importantly, the leader of the city must continue to be focused on what is best for The City of Revere, understanding he does not have all the answers. Dan has exhibited all of these qualities in a very productive manner and, I believe, will continue to do so as Mayor. Now is the time for a Rizzo administration. "

          - Alan Temkin, Temkin Financial Group

" I've known Dan Rizzo for 25 years as a friend, a fellow businessman and for the last dozen years or so, as an elected official in Revere. I remember well, Dan coming to my office at the Revere Journal to ask my opinion about him running for city council. My answer was an unqualified and enthusiastic yes. The qualities which would make Dan an excellent Councilor - overall smarts, life experience, being a good listener, open to ideas, willing to lead - were apparent then. And it’s still apparent now. Dan has grown as a Councilor, earning the respect of his colleagues, state officials and most importantly, his constituents. He will be an excellent Mayor for Revere and I highly encourage all Revere residents to get behind him this coming November. "

          - Neil Collins, former publisher and owner The Revere Journal

" Dan Rizzo is a good man. He has been a long time member of the Revere City Council, an office that he has treated with the utmost respect. He goes above and beyond the call of duty to help someone in need. Dan is incredibly passionate and sincere, which becomes even more evident when he talks about the city and the people of Revere. Dan is a man that we can trust, a hard working honest man who is willing to listen to the people and to do his best for Revere. "

          - Sincerely, Matthew R. Milaiko

" Genuine, a proven savvy business leader, and most important, a friend you can count on. I've known Dan for over 20 years and quite honestly, when in need, he'll be there for you. Always backs up what he says with action.

Integrity and trust is so important in life and Dan has proven to posses both of these attributes -- not only in his personal life but also in his public and private career endeavors. I'm very excited for my family and the City of Revere that Dan Rizzo is an option for the voters of Revere in the upcoming mayoral election. "
