RCTV在發出的新聞稿中強調,「當Kim
Janey贏了,有色社區就贏了」。

根據維基百科,有色人種(People of color)主要用於形容不被認為是白人的人,在美國,這個詞的適用對象包括非洲裔美人,亞裔美人,美國土著,太平洋島民每人,多族裔美人,以及某些拉丁裔美人。所以前述那位候選人給自己劃分的歸類,其實也沒錯。

不過RTCV稱,Kim
Janey上任波士頓代市長後,在對抗流離失所,增加取得教育途徑,促進教育上的公平,致力讓警察負起責任等事務上,已有許多改善。該組織經過內部討論後,達成支持Kim
Janey的共識。
新聞稿上引述了數名該組織重要成員的支持發言。
前任昆士小學校長李素影表示,,「我和Janey市長共事多年,親眼見到她的熱情,以及她的致力為低收入學生、移民家庭,有特殊需要學生彌平機會差距。她證明了她是如何憑藉自己的生活經驗來做治理決定,她是我們在這個團結城市,以期波士頓市對所有人都更公平的歷史性時刻所需要的人」。
華人協選會(CPPA)成員駱理德表示,「Janey市長致力打擊流離失所,而且說到做到的撥出經費。她增撥了比以往多三倍的預算來留住居民,保持樓宇的可負擔。她也把給首次購屋者的援助提高了三倍,推出了社區土地信託基金,誓言在包容性房屋程式中做必要的改變」。
RTCV主席Armani White表示,「當我們談到復甦時,把重心放在族裔評等上很關鍵。Kim Janey在成為波士頓市長候選人之前,就已經在爭取教育平等及族裔正義上行動多年了,而她是能夠統一這個城市的人。她的改革考試學校錄取方式,推動警察問責制,開放經濟機會,都源自她自己的生活經驗,有著很深的社區根源。
7月31日這天,有三、四十人出席RTCV支持Kim
Janey當波士頓市長的宣佈儀式,其中包括以個人身分出席的華人前進會共同主席湯建華,特地自製支持Kim
Janey掛牌的華埠居民李家接,以及本地26工會的多名亞裔會員。(更正版)

Baker-Polito Administration Announces Transition at Executive Office of Public Safety and Security
BOSTON — Today, Governor Charlie Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito announced the departure of Executive Office of Public Safety and Security Secretary Thomas Turco, III. Secretary Turco is retiring after more than 30 years of public service. The Administration also announced the appointment of current Undersecretary for Law Enforcement Terrence Reidy as Acting Secretary of Public Safety and Security.
“Since taking office, our Administration has been deeply committed to ensuring the safety and security of the residents, families and communities of the Commonwealth, and we are grateful for the leadership of Secretary Turco in pursuing that goal,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “Tom has played an invaluable role in many major efforts to deliver a safer Commonwealth for all, including working with law enforcement, legislators and community justice leaders to deliver landmark police reform legislation. We appreciate his expertise and commitment to public service, and look forward to continuing to work with Acting Secretary Reidy.”
“Over the past three years Secretary Turco led the team at the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security and its agencies with purpose and dedication, and we wish him well in his retirement,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “His commitment to supporting the public safety of our local communities was unsurpassed and his thoughtful leadership was invaluable to our Administration. I want to thank Secretary Turco for his years of service and welcome Acting Secretary Reidy to this new role.”
“Public safety depends on all of us working together to build a culture of preparedness, responsiveness, and care for those in our communities,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Thomas Turco. “I would like to thank the residents of the Commonwealth for their support of our work, the Governor and Lieutenant Governor for their confidence in me and my colleagues across our agencies whose collective partnership has advanced our vision of excellence. Knowing how our team will rise to this occasion empowers me to make this decision to spend time with my family who have been a source of unwavering support to me in my life of public service.”
“Serving on Secretary Turco’s leadership team at EOPSS has prepared me for the task of succeeding such an effective leader,” said Undersecretary for Law Enforcement Terrence Reidy. “I am honored to be appointed Acting Secretary of Public Safety and Security and lead a talented group of world-class professionals. Together with our partners in the Administration, Legislature, and local communities, we will fulfill our mission to sustain and increase public safety.”
“On behalf of the Massachusetts Major City Chiefs, I would like to extend our collective congratulations to Secretary Turco on his retirement,” said President of the Major City Chiefs, Chelsea Police Chief Brian Kyes. “Tom has been a phenomenal leader who we have benefited from. His wisdom, guidance, and ability to make the most difficult decisions has made the Commonwealth a safer place. His legacy will continue in our law enforcement community for years to come.”
“As Boston Police Commissioner, I experienced an extraordinary collaborative fusion under Tom Turco’s leadership,” said Retired Boston Police Commissioner Willie Gross. “Like Coach Belichick, he leveraged the strength of each local, state, and federal partner - challenging each to do their job and contribute to a shared mission. I thank his family for supporting Tom in his work to make the Commonwealth a safer place for all.”
Under Secretary Turco’s leadership, the Baker-Polito Administration has made several advancements on key public safety and security issues for people and communities across Massachusetts. Key accomplishments include:
About Terrence Reidy:
Terrence Reidy has served as Undersecretary for Law Enforcement within the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security since 2019, where he has provided strategic leadership to the Massachusetts State Police, the Municipal Police Training Committee, and the Office of Grants and Research. In addition, Reidy served as a member of the Governor’s Task Force on Hate Crimes. Drawing on his prosecutorial experience collaborating with community leaders, he oversaw the creation of a hate crime resource guide for Massachusetts schools and partnered with police to ensure that every department in the Commonwealth has a trained, dedicated civil rights officer.
Prior to his work at EOPSS, Reidy was an Assistant Attorney General in the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office and Assistant District Attorney in Worcester and Suffolk Counties. His experience included supervising the Attorney General’s Enterprise, Major Crimes, and Cyber Crime Unit and the Worcester District Attorney’s Gang Unit. In Suffolk County, Reidy was promoted from District Court Prosecutor to Superior Court where he served in the Gang and Safe Neighborhood Initiative Units. In these roles, he developed collaborative relationships with federal, state, and local law enforcement as well as residents and community groups.
Beyond his work in government, Reidy dedicates time to volunteering as a coach for several youth sports organizations. He completed his undergraduate studies at Colby College and earned his juris doctor from New England School of Law.
