Rhode Island, I’m grateful I get to keep doing the work I love in the state I’ve called home my entire life. Over the next four years, I want more young people to see a place for themselves in our democracy, every eligible Rhode Islander to feel confident casting a ballot, and anyone who needs something from state government to know where to turn. I’m honored to keep working toward that as your Secretary of State. To my family, our team, and everyone who gave their time and energy to this campaign - thank you.
