Lifelong resident Revere resident, Juan Jaramillo, looks to prioritize the economic, Covid and opioid crises if elected to the State Representative seat vacated by Bob DeLeo in January.
Juan Jaramillo.
Juan’s Revere roots are longstanding. The son of hard-working parents who came to America after escaping violence in Colombia, where his mother nearly lost her life, Jaramilo was raised in Revere and attended Revere Public Schools. He attended the Paul Revere and William McKinley Elementary Schools, Garfield Middle School, and is a graduate of Revere High School. “My mom instilled in me the virtue of gratefulness and from a young age I began to give back to the community that raised me and welcomed my family. Since I graduated high school, I have been a mentor for young people, served as a Big Brother in the Big Brother Big Sister program, as Program Director for Revere Youth in Action, and as a coach for Pop Warner football in Revere.” Juan, who is engaged to Crystal Villegas, is the only candidate on the ballot from Revere.
