About

In 1996, George Rotondo and his wife Carolina made their decision to start a family in Revere based on George’s fond childhood memories of the city. Growing up in neighboring Everett, George and his family grew up spending their summers on Revere Beach and believed that Revere was the best place to raise his family. Today George and Carolina still reside in that home with their two girls, Gabriele and Amanda, who both attend the McKinley School.

Upon graduating from high school, George worked as a truck driver and was a member of Teamsters Local 25. After two years the company went under when the Massachusetts Miracle burst and George, like many people today, found himself unemployed. Faced with career uncertainty, George decided to go back to school to become a registered nurse and graduated from Bunker Hill Community College. While studying to be a nurse, he became a certified EMT and worked for Cataldo Ambulance. After graduating and passing the state nursing boards, George was hired as an emergency room nurse and now works as a cardio thoracic intensive care nurse at Brigham and Woman’s Hospital. Throughout his career, George has continually overcome difficult challenges with reason and determination. In times of crisis, his patients have been able to count on George to make the right decisions the first time, every time.

After several years of toiling in the ICU at the Brigham, George’s nursing colleagues looked to him to serve as their union representative for the Massachusetts Nurse Association. His efforts have led to a $250 million dollar contract settlement for over 2,700 nurses with one of the largest corporations in Massachusetts. Each day, rank and file members and hospital management rely on George’s skills and knowledge to ensure that the bargaining agreement is upheld.

Since being elected to the Revere City Council he has taken these skills and stood up to ensure accountability, efficiency and innovation in city hall. Among other initiatives, George believes that by increasing e-commerce and moving toward a paperless document system, we can decrease the cost of government without sacrificing much needed services. As your City Councilor for over 6 years, you know George to be an honest and efficient public servant. He always lets you know where he stands on the issues and has built an impressive resume fighting against the entrenched interests to bring about positive change for the people of Revere. Throughout his life George has learned that one needs to work hard no matter how menial the task appears to others and that every inch forward brings us to a better tomorrow.
