Last week at Casey’s on Lower Broadway in East Somerville, Ward 1 Alderman candidate Elio LoRusso had his campaign kickoff, and it was well attended. It’s safe to say the place was jamming, with a huge crowd from Ward 1 packed in to help him kickoff his campaign. Retiring Alderman Tony Lafuente introduced LoRusso to the crowd but before that, gave a very impassioned plea for everyone to get out this year and bring back an alderman who will pay more attention to the local issues with all the residents. LoRusso spoke about what he wanted to accomplish should he be elected. The crowd was out to the door with over 100 present, including Mayor Curtatone, former Ward 1 Alderman Bill Roche, former Mayor Gene Brune, and many more local residents.
