This morning the election department had a visit from Mr. Elio LoRusso, a lifelong resident and businessman in East Somerville, pulled papers to run for the Ward 1 Alderman Seat against incumbent, M. McLaughlin.
The deadline for pulling papers for city office this year is this coming Monday June 26, he will have to have 120 signatures of registered voters in Ward 1 (East Somerville) turned in by Wednesday June 28. LoRusso is a lifelong resident, married, homeowner and a business owner here in East Somerville.
It should be an interesting race in Ward 1 for alderman. The current alderman moved into Ward 1 four years ago from his parents’ home in Ward 5.

I like Eñio, I hope he wins but this is his 3? 4th? Time running?
It will be an improvement. Will be happy to support this candidate.
He’s got my vote! Anything to do away with the communist-loving alderman we have now.
Yer damn right, buddy! Them commies gotta go – colluding with them Russians and all! God Bless.
Hip hip hooray. As a long time east somerville resident I have seen the neighborhood slip back to the days where we get no respect. We need a change.
Can you explain what you mean by “communist-loving” ?
Elio – Expand your base. Actually get involved in something productive and do something community-minded with a broad spectrum of residents. Don’t just show up to an occasional meeting that might be 2 minutes from your house and stand in the back of the room complaining under your breath with some old timer about how things aren’t like they used to be. That’s not repping the community.
Go out across Somerville and get involved with a diverse group of residents and local organizations, across age groups and occupations and ethnic groups, and actually do productive things alongside your neighbors. That’s how you get elected Alderman.

In five decades it seemed like only the last couple years East Somerville getting any respect.

If that is true, how did little Matty do it? I did not see him at any city wide meetings till after he was elected and even now I do not see him at many of them.
