Supports Joe Boncore for State Senate
Dear Editor,
I’m writing today to heartily endorse my friend Atty. Joseph Boncore for State Senator First Suffolk-Middlesex District.  Atty. Joseph Boncore is a proven advocate with the experience to make a difference not only in District 1 but throughout Massachusetts.
I’ve known Joe Boncore since he was 12 years old.  At that age, Joe organized and presided over the Junior Lodge of Winthrop Sons of Italy. He was out “canning†for the Alzheimers Association.
Through the years, I’ve seen Joe grow not only in the Order Sons of Italy, but as a capable attorney and public defender for the mentally ill, homeless and addicted in the E. Boston, Chelsea, and Boston Municipal Courts.  Since 2009, Joe has been an active member of the Winthrop Housing Board. He’s served as Chairman since 2013. Boncore is also the current Chair of the Winthrop Ordinance Review Committee (2010-present), an active member and Convention Delegate of the Winthrop Democratic Town Committee, a National Vice President of the Order Sons of Italy in America (OSIA) and Treasurer of the Justinian Law Society.
Joe Boncore has practiced law for 7 years at Boncore Law Office in East Boston. Atty. Boncore is a graduate of St. John’s Preparatory School in Danvers, Providence College and the Mass School of Law.  Joe is currently endorsed by the Boston Teachers Union, Ironworkers Local 7, Insulators Local 6, Laborers Local 22, and Painters & Allied Trades District Council 35.
Most of all, I endorse Joseph Boncore because of the way in which he tackles problems.  He reviews all facts and circumstances in a very calm and deliberate manner. Joe then passionately works to execute positive change in people’s lives, esp. the lives of our most vulnerable.
The District and the Commonwealth need a leader in the State Senate with the experience and vision to make good decisions in areas of economic and job development, higher and vocational education and training, transportation, affordable housing, mental health and substance abuse and the environment. Joseph Boncore has the education, work background, experience in both government and volunteer organizations and leadership abilities to be our next State Senator.
Please join me in casting your vote for Joseph Boncore for State Senator on Tuesday, April 12th.
