Some fights are worth having. In June, Dawn fought to stop utilities from profiting off road repairs. Her amendment to the state budget failed. But she isn’t giving up. Dawn has legislation ready for next session to finish the job. Send Dawn back to the State House. Let’s finish the fight.

The U.S.’s top military brass are warning that the U.S. cannot and should not prolong this illegal war in Iran any further—as it is straining our forces, our readiness, and weapons supply and creating unacceptable global security risks. This war must end now.

Special thank you Rhode Island Current for highlighting our senate race. I love working for our district and your article made that clear. Full article: rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/08/28/newports-senate-district-13-primary-pits-a-progressive-incumbent-against-a-progressive-challenger/
Cover photo of RI Current article with the headline: “Newport’s Senate District 13 primary pits a progressive incumbent against a progressive challenger
And has a headshot of Senator Dawn Euer and Angela LimaText pulled from the LinkedIn article:

Euer led legislation in many areas Lima says she wants to tackle. Euer sponsored the landmark decarbonization mandates of the 2021 Act on Climate Law, the 2022 Let RI Vote Act to expand voter access and ballot-casting methods, and a 2024 law protecting Rhode Island healthcare providers who provide reproductive and gender-affirming care from civil or criminal lawsuits from other states where these practices are not allowed.

Euer was heavily involved in negotiations over high-profile gun safety legislation, and, during the 2026 session, the bill amending the statute of limitations on sexual abuse claims against institutions like the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence that is now law.
“That’s something that’s helping real people, bringing justice to victims and helping people heal,” Euer said of the two-year window for otherwise time-barred sexual abuse claims to be filed. 
“I’ve been working hard for my constituents to deliver results for the district,” she said, also defending her working-class background. “The experience I have is like the experience of so many Rhode Islanders, working more and more and not able to keep up.”

Big wins at the PUC. Addressing cost & climate are possible - it’s not one or the other. We need to be thoughtful and thorough about how we’re approaching the issue. This is the work I’ve been doing at the State House. And, it’s the work I’d like to keep doing for RIers. #affordability #climate

Aging utility infrastructure is a huge cost driver on our utility bills. We need to be smarter & more efficient and put rate payers first when we are designing and rebuilding this critical infrastructure. That cost factor has been at the heart of the work I’ve been doing related to energy.
