Why I’m Running
I have lived in East Providence for my entire life. As an educator, coach, advocate, housing authority commissioner, local union president, and Democratic City Committee member, I have been a dedicated Townie at every stage of my professional career and personal life – and I want to continue to serve.
That’s why I’ve decided to run for State Senate in District 14. I look forward to earning your vote in the Democratic primary on Wednesday, September 12. With your support, we can strengthen our community and continue to make a positive impact.
