- The DEEP BLUE OCEAN STATE is proud to cast 34 ballots to elect our first female President, @KamalaHarris!
00:00 - My sincerest thanks go out to @RIPTA_RI bus operator Ellie Giblin, whose compassion and quick thinking saved a man's life. While driving her bus 4/3, Ellie spotted a man on the railing of the Henderson Bridge, ready to jump. Ellie stopped the bus, got out, and talked to him (1/2)
- Had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Mike Fitzgerald, the Democratic State Treasurer of Iowa since 1983 !!! Interesting discussion about Iowa Presidential Caucus Politics. Told me Mayor Pete is getting the biggest crowds when he speaks in Iowa.
- Random thought for the day. Let's try to make it through one day without posting or tweeting anything negative about people or events. Just one (1) day?
- I am truly blessed to celebrate my Dad's 99 birthday with him! My best friend since I can remember.
- Thrilled & honored to represent RI in tonight's @DemConvention roll call! RI is the smallest state but we have BIG ideas! Founded on the principles of religious freedom & tolerance, RI has always been a state of trailblazers. Today, we’re blazing new trails...
- Today I filed my paperwork to run for re-election for House District 23 in Warwick. I look forward to campaigning and asking my neighbors for their vote.
- Very excited to share that next week, I will testify before the U.S. Senate at a Senate Budget Committee hearing at the invitation of @SenWhitehouse to discuss housing unaffordability. More in @projo:
- Rhode Island needs more housing. Period. And, affordable housing is good economic development. When our kids graduate, we want them to be able to afford to stay here. When businesses look for a place to locate, they look at whether their employees can afford to live here. 🧵
