Our Revolution consolidates progressive agenda in Medford elections

Candidates backed by Our Revolution Medford won a decisive victory in City Council and School Committee races over an independent group on Nov. 4, extending their progressive vision for another two-year term.

All incumbents on the City Council won reelection, maintaining the 6–1 ORM majority. Liz Mullane, assistant vice president for advancement at Northeastern University, was elected to the council following the departure of Council Vice President Kit Collins, who did not seek reelection. Councilor Emily Lazzaro received the most votes, followed by Council President Zac Bears and Councilor Anna Callahan.

“Medford stood up tonight and loudly proclaimed that we’re going to keep building a Medford for all of us. I’m so proud of this grassroots, people-powered movement,” Bears said. “We saw that Medford is ready for the future and that these are the people that they want to work together to build it.”

The slate of seven independent City Council candidates included Councilor George Scarpelli, who won reelection to a sixth term, and former Council President Rick Caraviello, who was unsuccessful in an attempt to return to the council following a failed bid for mayor in 2023.
