State representatives serve in the Rhode Island House of Representatives, one of two chambers in Rhode Island’s General Assembly. Rhode Island Representatives serve on committees, introduce bills and enact laws, and lead the process of developing the annual state budget introduced by the Governor. They are elected every two years. There are 75 state representatives in Rhode Island and each representative represents approximately 14,000 Rhode Islanders.

As Policy Director to the state Treasurer, I have worked to address health care costs through legislation to cap medical debt interest rates and forgive over medical debt. As state representative from North Kingstown, I will continue efforts to eradicate medical debt in our state.
The General Assembly must also act quickly to address coverage gaps created by harmful federal policy choices. An estimated 24,000 Rhode Islanders are expected to lose Medicaid coverage in 2027 as a result of new eligibility changes and work requirements enacted at the federal level.
Finally, to address enduring provider shortages, the state must raise Medicaid reimbursement rates to remain competitive with our neighbors in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
For years, Rhode Island underinvested in housing construction even as more out-of-state families moved to the state, and supply failed to keep pace. To address housing costs, the state must continue to invest in housing construction at all levels, particularly workforce housing that will serve those like nurses, teachers, and public safety professionals.
Relative to energy costs, Rhode Island must remain committed to renewable energy. Solar and wind costs continue to fall, while fossil fuels remain exposed to volatile price spikes — RI Energy customers felt this directly over the past few months. Grid diversification will reduce our long-term dependence on fossil fuels and result in real savings for ratepayers.
I will advocate for and vote for the Rhode Island Voting Rights Act, which will help enfranchise Rhode Islanders at a moment when federal overreach threatens to undermine ballot access. Our Constitution entrusts states with the authority to administer elections precisely because that structure protects the rights of voters. Rhode Island must exercise that constitutional authority to ensure each and every citizen retains the right to vote and feels safe casting their ballot.
Affordability remains the single greatest challenge facing our state. Many of my classmates at NK High School have left Rhode Island in search of opportunity and a livable wage. The state must foster economic development that attracts high-paying jobs — the kind that let people actually live here, pay off their loans, and someday afford a home. I propose expanding CTE programs to create pathways into skilled trades and other high-demand, high-paying fields.
But affordability isn't just a challenge for those starting out. Many seniors on fixed incomes who have spent their whole lives in Rhode Island now find themselves priced out of their own hometowns. As we increase housing stock at every level, we will begin to relieve that cost burden.
(1) Champion transparency in campaign finance laws to ensure special interest groups cannot abuse reporting laws to hide donors and skirt contribution limits;
(2) Pass the Rhode Island Voting Rights Act to ensure that Rhode Islanders retain the right to vote regardless of Washington; and
(3) Reduce Rhode Island’s 30-day voter registration deadline — the longest allowed under federal law — to expand ballot access.
