This year, we tackled violence in our communities in part by prosecuting individuals responsible for violent crime, seeking justice for victims & their families. Our Office remains staunchly committed keeping RI'ers safe by all means available to us.

Our Office is laser-focused on Roger Williams & Fatima. The continued viability of these safety-net hospitals is essential to ensure all RI'ers have access to quality care. They are integral to our community network of care & employ thousands of RI'ers, & we will continue to prioritize them in 2026.

Rhode Islanders love our Consumer Protection Team.
So do I!
So do I!
Consumers: we’ve got your back. So far in 2025, our Consumer Protection Unit has resolved 378 consumer complaints, resulting in over $1.2 million in value returned to Rhode Islanders, and still counting.

Since January 20, the federal Administration has taken actions that extend far beyond the President’s constitutional authority, impacting the rights of Rhode Islanders in real time. Our Office is leading the charge, taking key issues to RI federal court & courtrooms across the country, & winning.

I have two major after—action takeaways from the awful Brown mass-shooting that I am prepared to share at this point:
The law enforcement coordination was outstanding and the work relentless - and I saw a lot of it in real time.

This year, we sought further justice for victims of the opioid epidemic by going after those responsible for marketing these highly addictive drugs. To date, we have brought more than $315M in cash and lifesaving medication to RI, all of which will be used for treatment, prevention, and recovery.

What a terrible day at Brown last night, in the very building where both my sons were educated not long ago.
In the command post last night, I saw dozens of law enforcement officers led by PPD and our prosecutors working this case and making steady progress.
We’ll achieve justice. More to come.

Rhode Island Energy has submitted a proposal that would hike monthly gas and electric rates next fall. Find out how much your bill could increase if it's approved:
RI Energy customers could see higher electric, gas bills under new proposal
If approved, the average RI Energy customer would see about an $8 monthly increase to energy bills and a roughly $350 annual increase to gas bills.
