If You’ve Never Heard of Me, Start Here

I’m not a career politician. I’m a working-class Rhode Islander who believes this state needs more accountability, less theater, and real results.

A lot of people have said the same thing to me lately: “I’ve never heard of you.”

Fair enough.

I’m not a career politician, and I’m not part of Rhode Island’s usual political club. I’m a working-class Rhode Islander who has spent 14+ years working as a Department of Defense contractor here in Newport, and I’ve had enough of watching regular people get squeezed while the people in charge keep making excuses.

I care about the things that actually hit home here: rising bills, housing costs, energy costs, broken basic services, public safety, veterans, and whether government is doing its job or just covering for itself. I’ve watched too many families work harder every year only to feel like they’re falling further behind, while the same insiders keep telling us everything is fine.

I’m a Republican, and I believe in accountability, fiscal responsibility, public safety, and common-sense government. But I also believe that if you want to actually get things done, you have to be willing to work with people on the other side when it serves Rhode Island. I’m not here for empty political theater or cheap attention. I’m here for results.

I’m speaking up because too much of Rhode Island politics feels like the same small group talking to each other while regular people are left paying the price. More money goes out, more promises get made, and somehow the problems never seem to get fixed. Roads stay broken. Utility bills stay high. Housing stays out of reach. And too many people in government act like voters should just keep lowering their expectations.

That’s not good enough for me.

So if you’ve never heard of me before, that’s okay. You will.

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to tell you exactly who I am, what I believe, and where I stand on the biggest issues facing Rhode Island and the issues shaping the country. You may not agree with me on everything, but you’ll never have to guess where I stand.
