As state representative I've been proud to stand with workers and unions in pushing for minimum wage increases, contract continuity, minimum staffing in nursing homes, and of course wage theft and worker misclassification.

It was really enjoyable to have this bilingual conversation with Tony Mendez at Poder102.1fm. The AG has so much power to protect RI, so it's important that voters are informed about both the office and the candidates before they head to the polls. Listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Matd...

My statement on Keith Hoffmann's misrepresentation of the @MomsDemandAction.org Gun Sense Candidate Distinction badge as an endorsement (CC: @Everytown.org)
Statement on Hoffmann's Inaccurate Endorsement Claim: "Keith Hoffmann and his campaign for Attorney General are running TV and digital ads that misrepresent the Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate Distinction as one of his endorsements in a manner that is inaccurate, misleading, and in violation of the organization’s stated terms. I have spent the last decade working to keep dangerous firearms off our streets and to reduce the threat of gun violence in our state. My endorsements from gun safety groups—including Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, the parent organization of Moms Demand Action—reflect that record. Voters deserve accurate information about each candidate’s record on gun safety and the endorsements we have received. I’m asking Keith Hoffmann and his campaign to immediately take down and correct his ads by removing this misleading, inaccurate endorsement claim that could lead voters to draw the wrong conclusion about who is endorsed by gun safety groups in this race.”

As Attorney General, public safety will be my solemn commitment to the people of Rhode Island. I will bring firm justice to any law enforcement officer that breaks the law in Rhode Island or brings harm to a Rhode Islander through excessive use of force or abuse of power.

Here's my philosophy on public comment by the Attorney General, and the need to be apolitical in office in order to properly carry out the duties and responsibilities that the Attorney General has to the people of Rhode Island.

On the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, and with just four days until Rhode Island's August 10 voter registration deadline, this important piece by Awilda Reinoso López of the Latino Policy Institute is well worth reading. 1/ rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/08/06/n...
rhodeislandcurrent.com
Nearly 1 in 5 Rhode Islanders is Latino. The voter rolls haven't caught up. • Rhode Island Current
Roughly 220,000 people in Rhode Island are Latino but the state's voter rolls do not reflect those numbers, meaning a fifth of the people in the state doesn't have a say in how they are governed.
