Representative Megan Cotter: The real cost of Washington’s shutdown "Here in Rhode Island, we can’t control what happens in Congress, but we can do what Washington won’t. We can help families." steveahlquist.substack.com/p/representa...

Join me for a Coffee Hour & Session Wrap-Up on Saturday, August 30th from 10:30–11:30 AM at Clark Memorial Library in Richmond. Let’s chat about what got done this year, what still needs fighting for, and what matters most to YOU. 🔗 RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/coffe...

Our kids are struggling, and teachers are sounding the alarm—they can’t do this alone. Every student deserves access to support that helps them succeed not just academically, but emotionally and mentally too. This isn’t just about school—it’s about saving lives.

@providencejournal.bsky.social opinion piece by Rep. Megan Cotter: The current leadership of the Airport Corporation for T.F. Green International Airport is pushing to privatize TSA ‒ an action that would devastate young families just like we once were. www.providencejournal.com/story/opinio...

Want to know more about the two bills I sponsored that unanimously passed the House yesterday? These bills protect the folks who show up when disaster hits—and they matter more than ever. Follow me on Substack for the to learn about this legislation: open.substack.com/pub/represen...

When I took on the utility companies in Rhode Island by introducing a cap on their profits, I knew it was the right thing for Rhode Islanders—and now, it’s catching on nationwide. www.politico.com/news/2025/04... #PeopleOverProfits #RhodeIslandLeads #KeepFighting

CALL TO ACTION: MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD THIS THURSDAY! 🚨 www.mobilize.us/riwfp/event/...

I am proud of this community.

Rhode Island Energy will use the excuse that green energy is the problem. Don’t be fooled. Corporate fat cats wanting to line their pockets at YOUR expense. Where have we seen that before? Oh right….👀

Ready for tomorrow night. Let's go! Join us! www.mobilize.us/indivisibler...

Our Mary Barden talked today with @kimkalunian.bsky.social about the proposed dismantling of the Dept. of Education and NEARI’s state legislative priorities.

Wages for the top 1% have skyrocketed while working families struggle to keep up. Yet, RI still relies on regressive taxes that hit the bottom 90% the hardest. It’s time for a tax system that works for everyone, not just the wealthy. #FairTax

Local reporting is so important! Happy to support @steveahlquist.bsky.social's journalism. He often writes about the Chariho School Committee and local issues across Rhode Island. @cotterforri.bsky.social

I got my tickets with my crew from Richmond! We are looking forward to it. events.ricomedyconnection.com/shows/302697

Everyone should have electricity. Rhode Island is the 14th state in the country where lawmakers and ordinary people are making this future possible! Let’s go!

Rhode Islanders deserve reliable, affordable energy—not skyrocketing rates that pad corporate profits. That’s why I introduced H5161, a bill to explore public power as an alternative to investor-owned utilities. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/13/m...

An agenda that works for all of us.

Join us tonight for dinner on me! Grab a shampoo and/or a box of tampons and come to the Tilted Barn at 6pm! facebook.com/events/s/3rd...

Rhode Islanders deserve better than corporate double-talk. While RI Energy insists that cutting profit margins will “hurt investment,” the reality is that our communities are paying the price for bloated executive bonuses and misplaced priorities. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/p...

I am honored to be named the RI Southern Firefighters League Legislator of the Year. Firefighters and first responders are the backbone of our communities. I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Southern League and its members for this recognition. www.rifirechiefs.com/apps/public/...

Rhode Islanders are feeling the weight of skyrocketing utility costs. With rates 61% higher than the national average, too many families are being forced to choose between keeping the lights on and covering basic needs. Let’s put Rhode Islanders first. www.providencejournal.com/story/opinio...

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a man whose dream of justice, equality, and unity continues to inspire us all. Happy MLK Day!

We need a policy plan to address the housing crisis that impacts the lives of those who entrusted you to the office.

Karen isn’t about politics—she’s about the kids. Her dedication as a teacher and leader is exactly what Chariho needs. Let’s focus on what matters: supporting someone who puts students first.

Americans are spending way too much on health care - an average of $12,555 per person in 2022. The average in other high-income nations? $6,651. We're spending almost DOUBLE what other nations spend, & yet we still get far worse outcomes for patients.

I had the privilege of receiving the CSG 20 Under 40 Award from the Governor of Nevada. Connecting with other legislators from across the U.S. was such an inspiring experience. It’s amazing to hear about the innovative work happening in communities nationwide and share ideas on how we can all serve.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

Appalling. Bonuses should reward success, not failure. While Rhode Island students and schools struggle, taxpayers are funding a $10K bonus for the Education Commissioner—on top of a massive salary increase. This is not how accountability works.

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so grateful for this community and the chance to represent you. Today, I’m especially thankful for the connections we’ve made and the work we’ve done together. Wishing you and your family a day filled with good food, good company, and plenty of reasons to be thankful.

Rhode Island saw highest voter turnout in Nov. 5 election since 2008 rhodeislandcurrent.com/2024/11/25/r...

More research on #microplastics. I will be again introducing a microplastics bill again in January.

This year, Richmond voters made their voices heard loud and clear: they value leaders who focus on their needs. Rich Nassaney recognized the importance of setting aside partisan politics to support candidates who listen and deliver. thepublicsradio.org/politics/rep...
