My Political Values

Government should make life easier for the people it serves. Not more expensive.

Rhode Islanders are working harder than ever, yet too many families feel like they’re falling behind. Rising electric bills, higher taxes, increasing insurance costs, unaffordable housing, and government that continues to spend more while delivering less have left many people wondering if anyone at the State House is listening.

I am running because I believe we can change that.

I believe in fiscal responsibility, individual liberty, transparent government, and common-sense leadership that puts Rhode Islanders ahead of politics. My priorities are simple: make Rhode Island more affordable, strengthen our local communities, and restore trust in government.

Priorities for District 38

As your State Senator for District 38, it will be my intention to:

  • Lower the Cost of Living

Rhode Islanders don’t need another government program. They need relief.

Affordability isn’t just about the price of a home. It’s about everything that comes with living here. Electric bills that seem to climb every month. Rising natural gas costs. Higher property taxes. Increasing water and sewer bills. Registration fees, permits, insurance premiums, and countless taxes that chip away at every paycheck.

Individually, each increase may seem manageable. Together, they’ve made living in Rhode Island more of a burden than a blessing for too many families.

My first priority will be tackling our outrageous electric and utility costs while fighting to reduce the overall cost of living. I’ll oppose new taxes and unnecessary fees, work to eliminate wasteful government spending, and support policies that allow families, seniors, and small businesses to keep more of the money they earn.

Government shouldn’t make it harder to live in Rhode Island. It should make it easier to build a life here.

  • Improve Access to Healthcare

As a medical office manager, I see firsthand how difficult it has become to find a primary care provider and navigate today’s healthcare system. I will work to improve access to primary care, reduce unnecessary bureaucracy, and support policies that put patients first.

  • Grow Small Businesses and Good Paying Jobs

Small businesses create the jobs that keep our communities strong. I will fight to reduce unnecessary regulations, lower the cost of doing business, and encourage investment in local employers instead of giving special treatment to large corporations.

  • Hold Government Accountable

Rhode Islanders deserve to know how every tax dollar is spent. I will advocate for stronger transparency laws, expose wasteful spending, and fight for greater accountability at every level of state government.

  • Protect Our Communities and Our Way of Life

I will defend our constitutional rights, support law enforcement and first responders, protect public shoreline access, preserve our outdoor heritage, open spaces, and ensure local communities have a stronger voice in the decisions that affect them.

  • Make Housing More Affordable

Young families should be able to buy their first home, and seniors should be able to stay in the communities they’ve spent their lives building. I support practical solutions that increase housing opportunities while respecting the character and local control of our towns.

  • Invest in Rhode Island's Future

Our children should be able to build their futures here. Not feel forced to leave for better opportunities elsewhere. I support affordable education, strong career training, greater parental involvement in education, and policies that encourage young families to stay and succeed in Rhode Island.

My Promise

I am not running to become a career politician.

I am running because I believe Rhode Island can do better.

I will always be accessible. I will always listen. And I will always remember that my job is to represent the people of District 38, not political parties, special interests, or the insiders at the State House.
