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.
Education opens doors and programs like Junior Achievement Rhode Island are helping prepare the next generation to succeed in the classroom, the workforce, and beyond. Proud to recognize Education Awareness Week with Junior Achievement students and leaders.
Every Affordability for All proposal is a win for Rhode Islanders.
Not passing this tax relief plan would be madness. 🏀
Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day in Rhode Island! 🍀
⚠️ A High Wind Warning and Flood Watch are in effect across Rhode Island today through early Tuesday. Strong winds, heavy rain, localized flooding and scattered power outages are possible. Please secure outdoor items, stay alert and avoid flooded roads.
Stay safe, Rhode Island.
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 signed an Executive Order to help lower @healthsourceri.bsky.social insurance costs for Rhode Islanders. It’s another step in our Affordability for All agenda to make coverage more affordable and put money back in people’s pockets.

Rhode Islanders deserve to be paid back for Trump’s illegal tariffs — now.
It’s time for President Trump to return the money from his unlawful tariffs to the Rhode Islanders who paid the price.
The future of Roger Williams and Fatima Hospitals looks bright now that their sale to the Centurion Foundation is finalized.
Shout-outs to my team, the Attorney General, Speaker and Senate President for bringing this critically important deal across the finish line.

Great visiting Garvin Elementary in my hometown of Cumberland for Reading Week and sharing “Look Out for Litter”with students!
Keeping Rhode Island clean starts with teaching the next generation to care for our communities.
We’re putting people to work in good-paying jobs on projects that will benefit our communities for generations to come.
Today, I joined Mayor Mutter for B.F. Norton Elementary’s topping-off ceremony—this marks the first new school built in Cumberland since 1970.

Time to toss the state tax on Social Security. 🔥
A key part of my Affordability for All agenda.
During Women’s History Month, we honor the women who have shaped Rhode Island’s history—from the suffragists and reformers to the leaders breaking barriers today.
Thank you for your leadership and the countless ways you continue to write the next chapter of Rhode Island’s story.
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.
