I’m so excited to share that I’m running to represent District 34 in the Rhode Island State Senate!
I’m running because our rural communities deserve a fighter. We need a voice in the Senate that will stand up for affordability, government transparency, and our environment.

Our kids are struggling, and teachers are sounding the alarm—they can’t do this alone.
