Hear from the Community
As always, it is the advocacy of so many people in our community
and across the state that has allowed us to deliver real results.
“This year Rhode Island took bold action aimed at tackling the climate crisis and preserving the environment. As a longtime sponsor and champion of the Act on Climate, Chris worked alongside the environmental community and advocates in our shared efforts to support a just and clean transition to a fossil-free future. Together we established the foundation for transforming our economy in order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.”
“As a professor at Rhode Island College, I reached out to Chris because I know how important it is for the state to continue to expand its commitment to public higher education. For many Rhode Islanders, public higher education is the key to a brighter future. With his help,
the state made critical investments that will provide affordable opportunities for Rhode Island students to continue to learn and develop their skills.”
“As parents of young children in Providence public schools, we know that Chris is committed to our public education system and upgrading our school building infrastructure. His support for a $250 million statewide school construction bond and $300 million in upgrades to Providence public schools will help ensure that Rhode Island students receive a high-quality public education in schools that are warm, safe, dry, and equipped for learning.”
“Unequal pay for women and people of color is a critical issue for working families. Rhode Island’s new pay equity law – passed and signed into law this year – is a major victory, and it was hard fought over many years. Chris has been a longtime supporter of this piece of legislation and we’ve relied on his advice and support all along the way.”
“Rhode Island took major steps this year to support affordable housing and help end homelessness. From establishing the state’s first permanent affordable housing funding stream, to banning housing discrimination based on source of income, to creating a ‘Pay for Success’ pilot program supporting people experiencing chronic homelessness, Chris led passage of key pieces of legislation that will help our entire state, especially our neighbors most in need, with the best possible path to safe and stable housing both now and in the long-term.”
“From the inception of the Waterman Street Dog Park, Chris has always supported our park by word and deed, believing it is a real asset to the community. When I’m at the park with my three dogs, visitors constantly tell me how much their dogs enjoy the natural setting and ample space for their dogs to socialize and exercise.”
Bringing People Together,
Improving the Lives of Rhode Islanders
Chris knows we need to work together to build a brighter future for Rhode Island.
By bridging divides and creating coalitions, Chris is bringing leadership to the State House focused on promoting environmental justice, expanding affordable housing, investing in public schools, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, and supporting workers and their families.
