East Boston on the City Council. Stephen, like many of us, is raising a
family here. Stephen's kids, like my kids, are in the Boston Public
Schools, so he knows how important it is for families to have access to
great schools in their neighborhood. Whenever I needed assistance to
help a Veteran, Stephen was always there. As City Councilor, Stephen
will always put residents and our community first. He has the passion
and the dedication to stand up to developers and institutions and be a
strong voice for East Boston's families and seniors."
Passacantilli said, "Carlo Basile has been a strong, independent
