Vanessa J. Biasella said her nomination papers have been certified and she is ready to commence her campaign for a seat on the Revere School Committee.
Biasella, who was a candidate in the 2021 election for School Committee, said she collected more than 80 signatures from residents in two days.
“It was a hard decision to make, and I decided that for the kids and the families of this city and my fellow educators, it was important that I run,†said Biasella. “I just got certified Monday, so I’m ready to rock ‘n roll.â€
Biasella said she intends to run another highly visible campaign throughout the city. She will be using her familiar purple campaign signs again. “Last time, I held meet-and-greets with residents at each playground in every ward in the city. I held signs, went door-to-door, and I feel I’ll be doing more of the same this time and getting my message out to the voters,†she said.
A 1994 graduate of Revere High School, Biasella is a special education teacher at Lynn Classical High School. She and her husband, Michael, have four sons, two recent RHS graduates and two who currently attend Revere schools.
