As we enter our second decade, @FountainHeadRI's mission isn’t just to lift leaders, it’s to build an ecosystem that sustains them.
The next ten years will define Rhode Island’s trajectory on climate, economic mobility, housing, workforce, education, and justice. Progress will depend on the public and private sectors working together, and we are here to ensure the answer is yes for every Rhode Islander. @RIHouseofReps @RISenate @CommerceRI @SANDRISCANO

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

It’s almost Election Day, and there are so many important state and local races on the ballot.
Whether it’s governors, mayors, or school boards, the leaders we choose will make decisions that affect our daily lives for years to come. That means no matter who’s in charge in Washington, we can still make progress on health care, affordability, gerrymandering, reproductive freedom, gun safety, climate, and so many of the issues that matter to us.

I strongly condemn the horrific act of violence that led to Charlie Kirk’s death this afternoon.
I’m wishing his loved ones strength and comfort in the days ahead.

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of my friend, Alan Hassenfeld. Alan’s leadership at Hasbro and his tireless work as a philanthropist helped shape this state in remarkable ways. He brought creativity, generosity, and heart into everything he did. He will be greatly missed.

Thank you @RISenate Sen @LoriUrso - Chairwoman Melissa Murray Senate President @Val_Lawson for priotizating access to IVF with PGD 🙌 Access to IVF with PGD is not just a matter of convenience-it is a lifeline, offering hope where there was once despair for many Rhode Islanders
