Really enjoyed sitting down with Steve Ahlquist this week to talk about my campaign for Attorney General. We dove deep into criminal justice, government transparency, consumer protection, public safety, and defending RI against federal overreach. Read here: steveahlquist.substack.com/p/interview-...

Really enjoyed speaking with Bill about why I'm the best candidate to be Rhode Island's next Attorney General. Take a listen 👇

Here's what the next Attorney General needs to know: Political courage takes time and experience to develop. That's why it's not enough for the Attorney General just to be a great lawyer, and it's why I'm the best candidate for the job.

Beautiful morning for a drive out to Coventry to break bread with the local Democrats the at Olde Theatre Diner. Good to see Sen. Raptakis, the Secretary of State & Congressman Magaziner as well as meeting several local elected officials. Really appreciate the warm welcome from Chair Maggie Florio.

Happy to address my hometown @barringtondems.bsky.social committee recently at the beautiful Barrington Library. I really appreciate the thoughtful questions & considerations that the members shared. So grateful for the partnership we've built over the last decade that I've represented District 67.

Great to be with the East Providence Democrats recently to talk about my vision for serving Rhode Island as AG. Many folks in that room are strong allies of the issues I've worked on during my time in the legislature -- a testament to the coalition-building it takes to achieve meaningful change.

I enjoyed addressing the Pawtucket Democrats this evening in their statewide candidate forum at the German-American Hall. It's a great exercise in democracy to gather so many candidates in the same space for voters to be able to hear (and question) differing visions for the office & the future.

Recently had the opportunity to catch up with folks in Jamestown at a beautiful May garden party, complete with a delicious spread and a very good dog. Thanks to the generous hosts for bringing the community together.

Remembering my mom today and reflecting on the values she instilled in me. Happy Mother's Day.

Great to get out and speak with the Glocester Democrats last week. Our lively discussion touched on housing, cost of living, cannabis, the scope of the AG's power to act, and the task ahead for the next Attorney General. I deeply appreciated the dialogue with this tenacious bunch.

Extraordinarily grateful to Donna & Kitty for opening their Wickford home for coffee with a thoughtful, engaged group of neighbors. We discussed the Quonset sludge plant debacle and the part it plays in a larger conversation about public input, quasi-public regulation, and the AG as watchdog.

So great to meet with the South Kingstown Democrats in Wakefield this morning, where I was proud to talk about my 'F' rating with the NRA for my work on gun safety. Great to be in the room with so many dedicated local public servants as well as my friend and colleague, Judiciary Chairwoman McEntee.

Fantastic evening with the Portsmouth Democrats in the Ragged Island Brewery greenhouse, sharing the stage with Senator Jack Reed and Congressman Gabe Amo as well as fellow candidates for statewide office. Appreciated the lively discussion, the owners' hospitality and my friend Juan Carlos as emcee.

Rhode Island is lucky to have Jack Reed working for us in the U.S. Senate. I was glad to attend at his annual May Breakfast at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet, catching up with old friends and making new acquaintances.

This is EXACTLY we passed the "Healthcare Provider Shield Act" in 2024 so that state resources could never be used for this crap. So proud to be a co-sponsor. www.browndailyherald.com/article/2026...

It was a beautiful day to get out, meet some folks and hear from representatives of AFL-CIO and SEIU at the May Day demonstrations yesterday.

Ahead of Rhode Island Independence Day next week, I was honored to join Sec. Amore for Liberty Tree plantings in Barrington & Warren to mark 250 years of American independence. These trees will serve as living monuments to resilience and the founding principles that we still fight to uphold. #RI250

Always energizing to see support out in the neighborhood (even when it's in a bush!) Comment👇 or get in touch if you'd like a lawn sign.

I enjoyed catching up with the Bristol Fourth of July committee over breakfast last weekend. This team does an outstanding job every year of paying tribute to American independence. If you've never made it out to the Bristol Fourth of July parade, it's well worth the trip.

Great conversation in Ashaway last week with @hopkintonridems.bsky.social, who do an outstanding job of advocating for Democratic values in southern Rhode Island. I appreciated the thoughtful questions and opportunity to hear from them about the challenges facing the next Attorney General.

If you haven't been able to make it out to an event to hear about why I'm running for Attorney General, check out the recording of my recent discussion in Cumberland. We covered a wide range of issues and had a rich conversation about what it takes to be ready to meet this moment. buff.ly/bsJ8EBL

It was great to speak with the Newport Democrats last week about my vision for the Attorney General's office. We focused in on criminal justice reform and the Clean Slate Act, holding the line on Trump, and solidifying the changes that AG Neronha has made to the office.

Great to join community leaders at the RI Health & Justice Symposium for a deep dive on the intersection of health and the criminal justice system. Rhode Island can and should do more to improve the reentry process for incarcerated individuals, which would pay dividends for community safety.

Rhode Island is facing a broad structural health care crisis. The governor's plan should alleviate some of the challenges, but we have a long way to go to ensure that health care really works for Rhode Islanders. Dr. Jha notes this untenable situation falls hardest on the uninsured.

Great afternoon at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet for Operation Stand Down's fundraiser today. I was glad to be able to stop by in support of the important work they do for veterans in Rhode Island.

Viktor Orbán's strongman regime is over. The Hungarian people rejected his poisonous politics & attacks on democratic institutions. This hard-fought victory shows what's possible when people stand up to autocrats. Here we'll continue the fight to protect our democracy www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/w...

Outstanding event in North Smithfield yesterday. I had the chance to sit down for one-on-one conversations with voters and get straight to the heart of the issues that matter and what kind of Attorney General I'll be. I commend the North Smithfield Democrats on an excellent civic forum.

Honored to receive the endorsement of six esteemed House colleagues today. We've worked closely together on important issues ranging from firearms and safeguarding reproductive rights to criminal justice reform and standing up for immigrants. www.golocalprov.com/politics/the...

Six fellow state reps endorse @jasonknightri.bsky.social

Glad to speak with the Cumberland Democrats in their beautiful library this week. The committee asked thoughtful questions on the assault weapons ban, protecting the elderly from scams and predatory wrongdoers, supporting crime victims, and the character required of an Attorney General.

The Barrington Library has tons to offer. Yesterday while meeting with constituents for a community conversation, I enjoyed coming across this art exhibit with lovely paintings by local artist Samantha Becker. Stop by and check it out this month 👇️

Exciting news: the East Bay Bike Path bridges are reopening to the public Monday! This is the result of the type of clear, consistent advocacy I'll bring to the AG's office to keep serving RIers from day one. Will I see you out on the bike path this spring? 🚲

Happy to make it out to Johnston to speak with the Democratic Town Committee this evening. I especially appreciated the question about what I mean when I say that the AG has to draw the line against Trump's illegal and unconstitutional actions. (Video in comments) 👇

Stopped by the State Library this afternoon for the official launch of the Rhode Island Voting Rights Act. I look forward to hearing testimony on this bill in the House State Government and Elections committee. #VotingRights

Today the House State Government and Elections committee will take testimony on my bill to update the Access to Public Records Act (APRA). As I told the RI Current in yesterday's article, we should not be working to find ways to keep records confidential. rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/03/30/n...

It's great to see so many Rhode Islanders unified in rejecting this administration's outrageous actions. We need to leverage the energy for real impact by channeling the anger and motivation into concrete outlets like electoral campaigns that could change the course that our country is on. #NoKings3

We circumnavigated the bay today to show up for #NoKings. I was glad to meet so many engaged voters who share a profound concern for the state of our country. I'm running for Attorney General to stand up for the values at the heart of these demonstrations. We need #FewerKingsMoreKnights

Pleasure to sit down with the Warwick Democrats this week to talk about why I'm running for Attorney General. Our conversation covered health care, my leadership on gun safety legislation, and reducing recidivism to keep communities safe. Great discussion, thoughtful questions!

⚠️ WATCH: The introduction of my House Resolution condemning ICE's unconstitutional tactics. What's unfolded over the last 14 months is unconscionable. We must formally denounce these practices & take steps to protect Rhode Islanders by reining in thuggish federal enforcement practices on our turf.

Tremendous afternoon out in Tiverton today talking with folks about how I'll stand up for Rhode Islanders as Attorney General. I appreciated the insightful questions and thoughtful conversation. Thanks a million to the Rickerbys for opening their home and putting out a great brunch spread!

At the end of a busy week in the legislature, it was great to connect with advocates at the Womxn Project's "Advocacy is Love" fundraiser. Congratulations Jocelyn Foye for inspiring fantastic turnout & to the artists for creating an amazing array of work for the cause of reproductive justice.

My family & I recently spent the evening at the Maple Foundation's annual community Iftar meal. Strengthening our bonds and sharing space together has never been more critical than now. As Ramadan comes to an end, I wish peace & fulfillment to those observing. May your fasting & prayers be accepted.

Glad to be at Congressman Magaziner's Women's Luncheon yesterday, marking this Women's History Month in recognition of some very deserving "Women Leading the Way". Heartfelt congratulations to my colleague Julie Casimiro and the other awardees for their tireless dedication to Rhode Island.

Another festive day with stops across the state, including the Friendly Sons of St Patrick of the Pawtuxet Valley and the world's shortest St Patrick's Day parade in Little Compton which raises money for the local food bank. Good vibes with good people for a good cause! 🍀

Festivity in the air in Newport today for one of Rhode Island's most beloved St. Patrick's Day traditions!

We had a great meeting this week with the RI Courts Committee on Racial and Ethnic Fairness in the Courts, where members provided legislators with an update on their progress and opportunity for open dialogue. Read about this initiative aimed at a fair, bias-free courts system here: buff.ly/XbdI8y5

From @steveahlquist.bsky.social, great coverage of our hearing this week that included my House Resolution condemning ICE's unconstitutional overreach and several bills supported by the RI Immigrant Coalition to protect neighbors & defend our constitutional freedoms. buff.ly/2gdl6n4

It is gratifying to see this investigation finally come to light, though the details are sickening. The widespread sexual abuse of countless children reveals a coverup of enormous scale by church leaders in Rhode Island. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/c...

Had a great time at the SEIU Legislative Luncheon today, coming together with my legislative colleagues and representatives of the service worker union to think about how we can better serve Rhode Island.

Pleasure to spend the evening in Cranston at Reps. Potter and Handy's Community Conversation. Their constituents raised insightful concerns ranging from the issues that are hurting everyday people to how Rhode Island can stand up to the federal government's lawless and vindictive overreach.
