More than 24,000 Rhode Islanders are living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, and behind each one is a family facing the impact every day. On Alzheimer’s Advocacy Day, I was proud to stand with Alzheimer's Association of RI and Rhode Islanders across our state.

Proud to welcome the Blackstone Valley Co-op hockey team to the State House to celebrate their championship. In the face of last month’s tragedy, this team showed incredible strength and resilience. We honored not just their victory, but the hope they represent for our state.

Today, I joined RI leaders to send a clear message to anyone who threatens women’s access to health care: not on my watch. As Governor, I'll always fight to protect reproductive rights. My budget proposal invests in Planned Parenthood to safeguard care after major federal cuts.

A big day in East Greenwich yesterday! We broke ground on THREE major school construction projects. This is what investing in the future looks like: updated facilities, expanded opportunities, and stronger schools for our students.

A new chapter begins for Central Falls High School. Across our state, we’re putting people to work in good-paying jobs on construction projects that will strengthen our communities for generations to come—this new school is a prime example.

Rhode Islanders like Ada are feeling the strain of rising energy costs—that’s why they’re supporting my Affordability for All agenda. If passed by the General Assembly, my proposal would deliver $1B in energy relief for families and businesses over the next 5 years.

Every Affordability for All proposal is a win for Rhode Islanders. Not passing this tax relief plan would be madness. 🏀

Rhode Islanders who have spent a lifetime building our communities deserve security as they age. At the Senior Agenda Coalition of RI Legislative Leaders Forum, I highlighted my Affordability for All agenda—including ending the state tax on Social Security.

I was in Cranston, N. PVD and Central Falls today to check in with municipal leaders and public works teams. As a former mayor, I know how much coordination it takes after a storm like this. We’re bringing in mutual aid from states across the region to support local recovery.
