Im appalled and saddened to learn @JenRourke29 was subjected to racist attacks while discussing her @RISenate candidacy. There is no room for such abhorrent abuse in our society. I categorically denounce these attacks and threats. Be better, RI. Diversity brings us strength. https://t.co/65shLc0zbK

To be elected to the @RISenate is an honor in and of itself. My status as an elected official should not grant me the privilege of being vaccinated ahead of the elderly & those with pre-existing conditions. Let's leave this to the @RIHEALTH, public health professionals & @CDCgov. https://t.co/yPxYo2ML1Z
I am honored to have the support of my Democratic colleagues for the position of Senate Majority Leader. It is a position and responsibility I do not take lightly, and I am committed to working with every member of the @RISenateDems to enact a bold agenda in 2021.
" Lets implement a more just income tax system. " The time has come to legalize marijuana. We can create jobs, capture lost tax revenue, & fund social programs. " There is no greater threat to RI than climate change. Lets pass the Economic & Climate Resilency Act.
Whether its running towards a fire or responding to another emergency, our states firefighters bravely put the lives and safety of Rhode Islanders before their own well being. Honored to speak at the @risaff convention tonight. Thank you for your service. https://t.co/D5a4o4dYFS
Congrats to @SenatorRuggerio and Senator @DawnEuer for passing this priority early in session. We’ve set important parameters for us to take action on climate within. Now, let’s get to work. #ActOnClimate https://t.co/9Y9jP6sji7
As a lifelong Rhode Islander, I am acutely aware of the threat climate change poses for our coastal state. We can and must act swiftly before it is too late. I am proud to cosponsor the Act on Climate bill and thank Senator @DawnEuer for her leadership on this vital legislation. https://t.co/mvEWgC6KLL
Rhode Island is fortunate to have this respected statesman as our senior senator. Thank you, @SenJackReed. https://t.co/1imsp4sXuj
Tonight - for the FIRST time - the Rhode Island Senate passed a pathway to $15/hour wage for every Rhode Island worker. Thank you to @anastatesenate2 for working with @SenatorRuggerio, @MaryellnGoodwin and many of our colleagues in @RISenate to see this through. https://t.co/bypUuOJvFv
Climate change is an existential threat to the Ocean State, and its consequences especially threaten Warwicks 39 miles of coastline. I look forward to working my colleagues (old and new) on an array of policies to combat climate change & protect the natural beauty of our state. https://t.co/VjfeFTLsWZ
