Candidate for Attorney General of Rhode Island. Father, husband, Navy submarine veteran, criminal defense lawyer, and former state prosecutor.
After years of DOT mismanagement, squandered resources, lack of transparency and unresponsiveness to the public interest, Rhode Island deserves real accountability. Alviti's resignation today is a step in the right direction. Now we need a total restructuring of the DOT. www.wpri.com/news/politic...

I was happy to share my thoughts with @fitzprov.bsky.social on the bill I sponsored in the House to increase our government's transparency and to give Rhode Islanders access to important data they deserve to have. These APRA reforms are a no-brainer. Read more: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/02/m...

Congratulations are in order to Michael Correia, the new President of the Rhode Island Police Chiefs Association, who will bring to all of Rhode Island the great leadership he models as Barrington's Chief of Police. We're lucky to have him!

The House adjourned this evening in honor of Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse killed by federal agents last weekend. In addition to my resolution condemning ICE's unconstitutional tactics, my colleagues and I are working to introduce laws to protect Rhode Islanders from ICE's thuggish abuse of power.

Really good to spend some time with the Unitarian Legislative Ministry of RI last night to talk about how RI can protect our neighbors from ICE's unconstitutional and dangerous tactics. The GA can and should step up here.

I am thankful for the teachings of MLK and the example he set for us during his life. He shows us the path to our better selves. All we need to do is follow it.

At the Women's Bar Association event last night to honor Federal Defender Tara Allen. Tara talked defending constitutional rights, how hard it can be when the government is bent on ignoring the constitution, and the necessity of doing it - especially in times like these.

My heart goes out to the two Guardsman who were shot yesterday and their families. I’m hopeful that they recover. Their sacrifice in the line of duty will not be forgotten

I'm astounded that the feds are balking at paying for food for hungry families, elders, and kids. I'm grateful to the AG's who are fighting in court to free up this money. I hope the appeals court acts ASAP. This is not complicated. Use the money you already have and follow the law: FEED THE PEOPLE!
