Putting Our Families First. Working for All Generations of Rhode Island.
Meet Westin Place
Westin Place is a lifelong Rhode Islander who believes public service should be about serving people, not politics.
Raised by a hardworking single mother and guided by his grandmother, Westin learned early that success comes through perseverance, accountability, and hard work. Those values have shaped every chapter of his life.
After spending years working for small businesses and owning a small business himself, Westin now serves as the Office Manager of a local primary care medical practice. Every day he works directly with patients, healthcare providers, insurance companies, and families navigating an increasingly complicated healthcare system. He understands the real-world challenges Rhode Islanders face because he helps people through them every day.
Whether it’s rising healthcare costs, burdensome regulations, or the financial pressures affecting working families and small businesses, Westin believes government should be focused on solving problems instead of creating them.
Family First
Family is at the heart of everything Westin does. He and his wife, Tawnee, are the proud parents of Jack and Astrid. Their children are the reason he is committed to building a Rhode Island where families can afford to stay, businesses can thrive, and future generations have opportunities close to home.
When he isn’t working or campaigning, you’ll often find Westin fishing Rhode Island’s South Shore, enjoying the many small town festivals that make our communities such a special place to live, or spending quality time with his family.
Fighting for Rhode Islanders
Westin is running for the Rhode Island State Senate because too many families are struggling while government continues to grow.
Sky high energy bills, rising taxes, an increasingly unaffordable housing market, and a state budget that continues to expand without delivering better results have left many Rhode Islanders feeling unheard.
Westin believes government should live within its means just like every family and small business must. He is committed to lowering the cost of living, reducing unnecessary taxes and regulations, supporting small businesses, strengthening public safety, protecting individual freedoms, and bringing greater transparency and accountability to the State House.
Westin isn’t running to become a career politician.
“I don’t owe anything to special interests or political insiders. I’m a husband, a father, and a working Rhode Islander who wants to make our state more affordable, more accountable, and a better place to raise a family. My job is to represent the people of District 38, not the political establishment.”
Westin believes Rhode Island deserves common-sense leadership that listens first, works hard, and always puts the people ahead of politics.
