Councilman Michael DiGioia Seeks Re-Election to Ward 4

Michael DiGioia, incumbent ward 4 city councilman has told supporters that he will seek re-election to the city council. DiGioia has not yet issued a formal statement but has indicated he will run again. Speaking with the ReporterToday.com, DiGioia said that he has “appreciated the high honor of representing Riverside residents on the council for almost two years. Much work is left to do and I want to stay and get the job done. I want to continue to be a strong voice for Riverside and all of this city,” DiGioia said. DiGioia has been closely aligned with councilman William Conley and the two have often voted together on issues against a council majority consisting of Mayor Bruce Rogers, Thomas Rose, ward 3 and Katie Kleyla, councilperson from ward 1. DiGioia, an attorney, will be challenged by current ward 4 school committee member Chrissy Rossi who has previously announced her intentions to seek the Riverside council seat. Her prior statements and an article have already appeared in the Reporter.
