Rhode Island, I’m grateful I get to keep doing the work I love in the state I’ve called home my entire life.

Over the next four years, I want more young people to see a place for themselves in our democracy, every eligible Rhode Islander to feel confident casting a ballot, and ing from state government to know where to turn. I’m honored to keep working toward that as your Secretary of State.

To my family, our team, and everyone who gave their time and energy to this campaign - thank you.

Thank you, Rhode Island!

I am deeply honored and grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the people of #RI01.

I’ll keep fighting for our families in Congress to make life more affordable and ensure opportunity for all.

Let’s get to work.

We flipped the House and Senate, and Puerto Rico Democrats are proud to have played a small part in this historic win. Thank you to every voter, volunteer, and organizer who made it possible. Now, let’s get to work. @dccc @dscc

Congratulations Governor-elect Helena Buonanno Foulkes 🌊👏🏽💙

I feel like I’ve been holding my breath for two years, wondering if the America I believed in was a mirage.

IT WAS NOT!!! It was not.

We did it, California. Thank you. I’m honored to be your next Governor, and I’ll fight for every family in this state, every single day. Let’s get to work.

🇺🇸💙

Flipping these seats! Let’s go!

People are ready for change. 🌊🌊

A huge win for Texas. A historic moment for @TheDemocrats. From Puerto Rico, congratulations to @jamestalarico and @texasdemocrats on winning a U.S. Senate seat for the first time in 38 years!

4PM UPDATE: Voter turnout in RI continues to be solid tho not enormous - but some big differences across communities

Central Falls is at 101% of its 2022 turnout, PVD is at 83% - but Scituate and Johnston are only at 71%

Live election night coverage starts at 8 on @wpri12!

As Attorney General, Kim will support diversion programs that connect people struggling with mental illness and addiction to the care they need, while maintaining accountability and keeping our communities safe.

That means continuing partnerships among courts, law enforcement, d community organizations, so Rhode Islanders get timely access to care, treatment, and support.

Evidence-based diversion helps people rebuild their lives.
