As a seasoned attorney with local roots, Jeff Turco is the ideal blend of experience and professionalism, with the know-how to be a strong leader for his community in these most uncertain times.After receiving his early education from the Revere Public School system, Jeff graduated from Malden Catholic (89’), UMass/Amherst (93’) and cum laude, from Quinnipiac University School of Law (96’). Jeff explored many options for his law career, starting as an associate, then taking the job of Chief of Staff for State Senator Guy Glodis, where he worked on election law, insurance law and the Commonwealth's post 9/11 response with the first ever state director of homeland security.
Working to reform and improve the Commonwealth's failing mental health and substance use disorder treatment programs will be a top priority for me. The tragedy of this issue has touched nearly every family in Winthrop and Revere...including my own. The Covid-19 pandemic has only worsened this crisis. The widespread use of narcan has saved lives but hasn't helped address the core problems. My experience at the Sheriff's Office and in our Courts reinforced my view that addressing these issues must be a top priority.
