I’ve lived in Rhode Island Congressional District 2 for the past 38 years with my wife Carol, raising our two children, Nick and Allie, in East Greenwich. Over that time, we’ve watched Rhode Island change a lot, and not for the better!

I am running for Congress to defend families — and all citizens — against the oppressive burdens imposed upon them by the Democrats’ politically driven, special-interest agenda. Democrats in Congress have voted to raise every American’s taxes, while here in Rhode Island, Democrats have voted to drive up electric bills and energy costs to staggering levels. Culturally, they have supported the indoctrination of our children with false and inappropriate narratives.

Members of Congress from Rhode Island have failed to represent the true values of our citizens. Too often they are the attack dogs for their party, because they think their voters cannot replace them. I’ve sought to stand up for Rhode Islanders by other means. I’ve been involved for years trying to change the policy discussion in the Ocean State. During COVID, I took our fight — yours and mine — to court when I sacrificed my right to earn a living to stand up for the rights of all Ocean State medical professionals and first responders.

Rhode Islanders deserve genuine representation in Congress regardless of which party is in the majority or in the White House. My real-world approach will strengthen your pursuit of prosperity and respect our heritage and core cultural values. This year we celebrate America's 250^th birthday, and it is more important than ever that our nation’s values be honored.
