April 14, 2007 Endorsement for Dan Rizzo

Dan and his office have consistently given freely of their services, business acumen and insurance knowledge to us at SBA/SCORE. Asking nothing for himself or his company, they have aided many persons going into business and persons in business. Those persons have benefited from his assistance.

I would just like to say how thrilled I was when my good friend Danny Rizzo announced his candidacy for State Senate. Beyond the fact I have known Danny personally for over 20 years, there hasn't been any and I mean any time he wasn't there for me. I was a single parent for years, my son played hockey, he always made a big deal about him or the little accomplishments he made. He sent him certificates through the years for sports stores, mentioned him in the paper without signing his name. I also had a serious problem when someone broke into my house and stole everything worthwhile to a kid, playstation, stereo, nintento, tv, playstation games etc. Needless to say my son at 13 was scared and heartbroken. For the next two weeks without me asking, Danny had a patrol officer talk to my son and come by my house after this person got out of jail. Those are just a few - I have people I know who had broken sidewalks, hazardous to walk around, people that needed a sponsor - he never ever blew any of them off. He always returned the call, in some cases made numerous calls on their behalf to get done what needed to be done. I would love to see him as mayor - but believe me in anything Danny has done, his heart and soul went with it, this is what our State needs. >From the bottom of my heart and for people who don't know Danny Rizzo, you soon will know he does things because he cares, not because he has to. Thank you Danny for everything you have personally done for me and for everyone I have ever asked you to look into, especially the crime that came into my neighborhood. The numerous calls to police, the numerous emails when no one else could get anything done. I would just like to add, that huge crime and drug problem has now vanished from my neighborhood.

With warmest and sincere regards,
Maria J. LeClair

I would just like to say how happy I was when Danny Rizzo announced his candidacy for State Senate. Beyond the fact I have known Dan from working for the Revere Public schools, my involvement in charities and in business. I know that when every time I need him to support my charity run of the Boston Marathon to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society he is there without hesitation every year. I have also found that he gets involved in important issues the effect the city and is not afraid to follow through until the issue has been resolved.

As a past Assistant City Clerk for the City of Revere, I can personally attest to senatorial candidate Dan Rizzo’s work ethic and professionalism. He has authored and sponsored numerous vital motions on behalf of his constituents, and has seen them through to fruition. He is not afraid to question the status quo and is no stranger to pursuing answers to difficult problems faced by the residents of Revere.

Caring and empathy are among his strong suits. As a concerned member of the Revere City Council and head of the Economic Development Committee, he strives to keep abreast of the needs of his constituents. He attends numerous senior citizen events as well as educational and sports related affairs. He gives of his time freely and is always ready to lend a hand. I know him to be even tempered and level headed even under extreme circumstances. These and many other fine qualities make him a viable candidate for Senator.

I am pleased to support his candidacy and urge you to do the same.

Trailblazer and Proactive. These are the best two words that describe a genuine working class individual that never needed to ride on ANYONE'S coat-tails for success. A real father with a respect for the working families every dollar. A true democratic attitude from days long past that we all need to revitalize and have champion the blue collar families and social causes again.

What kind of a man is Dan Rizzo?  He is a man whose commitment to the youth of the city of Revere is first and foremost.  Our neighborhood association runs many activities for the children and anytime we call on Dan to be a sponsor he is the first one there.  This kind of commitment also shows in all that Dan does for the betterment of the city. I know in my heart if Dan is elected next State Senator he will continue to be that same hard working committed man.
