Campaign priorities

Affordability and tax relief

As your State Representative, I will fight to make Rhode Island more affordable. That means responsible budgets, less wasteful spending, and real tax relief for families, seniors, and small businesses.

Local businesses and entrepreneurs

I will support local businesses and entrepreneurs because I know what it means to run a small business, meet expenses, serve clients, and be accountable every day.

Strong schools

I will work to strengthen our schools by supporting students, parents, and teachers, while also insisting on accountability, safety, and high standards.

Health care and family supports

I will advocate for children, families, seniors, and vulnerable Rhode Islanders who need access to quality health care, behavioral health services, and family supports.

First responders and veterans

I will stand with our police, firefighters, first responders, and veterans, and make sure the people who protect us have the resources and respect they deserve.

Working across party lines

And I will work across party lines whenever possible, because I am tired of the idea that every issue has to become a political fight. Most people I talk to do not care who gets the credit. They care whether someone is actually solving the problem.
