Hello and thank you for visiting my [the profile publisher] profile.

A bit about me ...

First and most importantly, I am a husband and a father to two terrific young men.

I am a small business owner, here in Rhode Island and a graduate of Providence College.

I have an extensive background in business, finance, budgets, and turning around large enterprises.

After 80 years of Democrat Party governance, Rhode Island is in desperate need of a turn around.

I am quite sure I can help.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I believe, like so many other Rhode Islanders, that Rhode Island can be the very BEST state in the United States to live and work.

But it's not.

Rhode Island is currently 50th of 50 states (the worst state in the U.S.) for the condition of roads, bridges, and infrastructure.

Rhode Island is ranked last of 50 states to start and operate a small business.

We can fix this!Our healthcare systems is in crisis.

Democrat policies have left us with hospitals closing, doctors and healthcare workers leaving, or retiring, and very few are coming here to practice. This leaves us with longer wait times to see fewer doctors and nurses.

Healthcare professionals are reimbursed 30% less in Rhode Island than in MA or CT. This affects all of us.

We can fix this!Corruption, Waste, and Fraud in Rhode Island Government is crushing us all financially. We pay close to 60% more for heat and electricity than the rest of the U.S. Why? Because we have forced utility companies to us unreliable and weather dependent wind and solar.

Are you paying more for delivery/service charges than usage on your utility bills? This is unacceptable and ...

We can fix this!

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

We Rhode Islanders have higher taxes than most of the rest of the U.S. Why, because we have unchecked government spending. We need common sense government spending and fewer taxes. We have more than 15 separate taxes we pay as Rhode Islanders. We even have an "Entertainment Tax". The Democrat legislature is TAXING YOUR FUN!

We can fix this!

Lower taxes, less spending.
