State Representative for District 59 - Oak Hill, Woodlawn, Pawtucket, R.I. Teacher and Community Advocate. A Brave Voice for Rhode Island.
Love to see new housing construction in Pawtucket, especially connected to our @ripta.com / @mbta-cr.bsky.social public transit hub, but we can do better than only 30/150 apartments being affordable. We need housing Rhode Islanders can afford!
I was proud to join not only the resident physicians and other healthcare providers, but also so many Rhode Ispanders, including @jilld.bsky.social, @msanchezpvd.bsky.social, @mackdistrict6.bsky.social
Solidarity to the resident physicians organizing for better patient care and a fair contact at Rhode Island Hospital with @seiu.org and all the everyday Rhode Islanders who came out to support!
Thank you to all the Rhode Islanders who came out to Jefferson Blvd in Warwick to protest the detention of Chansareth Hong by ICE. Chan has lived in RI since 1978 and is the sole caretaker of his autistic son and elderly mother. Bring Chan home!
Great discussion of the past legislative session here in Rhode Island with my colleague Rep. Cherie Cruz sponsored by the @riaclu.bsky.social at the Cumberland Public Library with so many Rhode Islanders 🌊 ⚓️ 🗳 📚 📃 💙 🇺🇸
Override the Veto! Thank you Speaker @chrisblazejewski.com Our recent heatwave has demonstrated once again the need to address the climate catastrophe 🌎 🥵 ☀️
I was proud to join so many of my Pawtucket neighbors at the City Council meeting to oppose a proposed ballot question to amend our city charter & allow the Mayor & City Council to appoint members to our School Committee. And we won! www.valleybreeze.com/news/pawtuck...
Ms. Racicot's accusations are credible & disqualifying. Platner must withdraw and allow a new candidate like @troyjackson207.bsky.social to continue the fight to replace Collins with a senator who will advocate for everyday Mainers instead of just the wealthy & powerful. 🇺🇸 🌲🦞 🗳
🇨🇻 Happy Cape Verdean Independence Day! 🇨🇻 🎇🇨🇻🎉 🇨🇻⚽🇨🇻🪅🎊💐

I am proud to be endorsed by ReclaimRI, an organization which fights for affordable housing here in the Ocean State by empowering tenants.
Stay cool Pawtucket! There are cooling centers available. Let's take care of each other, check in on your neighbors, stay hydrated. It's hot out there! 🌞🔥🌡️‼️
I was proud to join you, @rebeccakislak.bsky.social, @samzurier.bsky.social, @jenniferboylanri.bsky.social, @climateactionri.org, and so many other Rhode Islanders who take the climate catastrophe seriously 🌞🔥🌡️‼️
As temperatures approach 101°F🌡, endangering our elders, children, medically vulnerable & unhoused neighbors, and as our state is threatened by the ongoing climate catastrophe caused by the fossil fuel industry and its' government lackies from Trump on down, we can all see how crucial this fight is.
Be like Steve! Go to the Avon or the Pickens and see "Steal This Story, Please!" with an excellent film directed by Oscar-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin. You owe it to yourself to see this film in a theater 🎥 👏🏽 💐 📢 🗳️ 📝🕯️🎬 🎞️ 📽️ 🎙️ 📻 🌟 #DemocracyNow! #zazugoodpup
Last night I joined many Rhode Islanders in support of Provodence City Councilor @msanchezpvd.bsky.social - a champion for working families who is helping to lead the fight for rent stabilization & to ensure quality education for Providence's young people! 👏🏽 secure.actblue.com/donate/mspvd
Pawtucket! Join me, Rep Cherie Cruz, City Councilor Clovis Gregor, School Committee member Omar Reyes & many candidates, including candidate for Mayor, Adam Greeenman at Jordan's Jungle, 545 Pawtucket Ave, on Wednesday, July 1st between 5pm and 7pm - Let's talk! 🗳 🌊 ⚓️ 💙 🇺🇸
I wish Jose Batista all the best. He was a wonderful colleague in the Rhode Island House of Representatives & a strong advocate for his constituents in District 12 (South Providence & Washington Park). He was especially eloquent on criminal justice issues and in speaking up for environmental justice
And look who I ran into - Representative Alzate and Democratic Leader Kazarian and her twins! @karenalzate.bsky.social @katherinekazarian.bsky.social
Dear Pawtucket, this morning I filed my declaration of candidacy to represent my Oak Hill & Woodlawn neighbors in the Rhode Island House of Representatives. It is an honor to serve as your advocate on Smith Hill and I hope I will earn your support once again. #Democracy #RhodeIsland 🗳 🇺🇸 🌊 ⚓️
Happy Juneteenth Rhode Island! #FlashbackFriday to June 19, 2023 when Juneteenth officially became a holiday here in RI. Congratulations to all who made it possible especially Senator Mack @mackdistrict6.bsky.social & Rep Felix @leonelafelix.bsky.social & former Reps Henries & Ranglin-Vassell
Congratulations to Rosie the crossing guard who was thanked by grateful parents and students in Pawtucket today. Rosie is a beloved part of our community who helps our children navigate busy Pleasant Street each school day!
Happy Pride Rhode Island 🌈 #Pride2026🏳️🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #LoveIsLove #PeopleOfQualitySupportEquality
Glad to see so many cool fundraisers like this one! Sad to see my friend, valued colleague, and ally leave the Rhode Island House of Representatives Thursday evening, but i am looking forward to see David continue to serve his neighbors as the next mayor of our creative capitol ❤️ 🗳 🌈 🌟
This is a good message for the owners of Rhode Island Hospital where @seiu.org is fighting for a fair contract after winning their union of resident doctors! www.cirseiu.org/fair-contrac...
Here in the Ocean State we have a shortage of doctors. Many RIers can't find a primary care physician. We can begin to address this issue by ensuring that our doctors at RI Hospital get a fair contact with safe staffing levels & working conditions. www.cirseiu.org/fair-contrac...
Proud to stand with doctors with CIR-SEIU, along with @seiu.org & my colleagues in the legislature, including @mackdistrict6.bsky.social & @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social & many everyday Rhode Islanders, as our doctors fight for a fair contract so that they can provide the best care to their patients.
