We are just a week out from our campaign kick off for Lt Governor - a big thank you to the folks who filled Wild Colonial to the brim, the 100 folks who have already stepped up to donate, the countless folks who’ve signed up to volunteer & everyone who has shared a kind word or excitement!

RI’ers need relief not sleight of hand ‘regulatory documents revealed the agreement would allow the utility company to “increase rates over many years” in a manner consistent with its tax status, meaning ratepayers might effectively be on the hook for that $150 million over the next several years.’

Go go go, @sueanderbois.bsky.social!!!! Wooo!!!!!

Amazon has laid off 30k since April, and UPS has laid off 20k. Why are #Pawtucket taxpayers subsidizing the building of a new warehouse with no tenant for NY real estate speculators? #SaveMorleyField

At 2pm today the Rhode Island Senate and Rhode Island House of Representatives are holding a joint oversight hearing related to the Washington Bridge closure. You can watch the hearing on Capitol TV's livestream: capitoltvri.cablecast.tv

Rhode Islanders! You get to elect the amazing @sueanderbois.bsky.social as your Lieutenant Governor! I've been her friend for over 20 years, so I know that not only is she a badass who gets shit done, she has integrity, which we need more of in our elected officials! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJX1...

@sueanderbois.bsky.social for Lieutenant Governor of Rhode Island campaign announcement video!! ⚓🌊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJX1...

Here for the launch event for @sueanderbois.bsky.social’s campaign for lieutenant governor of #RhodeIsland. It’s never been so easy for me to unequivocally endorse a candidate. Why? /1

Long time energy, climate, and food advocate @sueanderbois.bsky.social is running for lieutenant governor of Rhode Island, stepping up from the Providence city Council. Let’s keep moving Climate Warriors up the ladder. 🔌💡 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJX1...

I was so happy to vote for @sueanderbois.bsky.social when she first ran for City Council, and even though I’ve moved across town, she has never let me down. You bet she has my vote. youtu.be/DJX16vY0ax4?...

"An operation by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents took place Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 11, in town...'Say it loud. Say it clear. ICE is not welcome here,' was the mantra of the dozen or so protesters who gathered at the foot of Washington Street."

Congratulations to Trinity Rep on the groundbreaking on their amazing new ADA accessible space. Thank you for being such an amazing partner with the City & creating a shared-use plaza that will also retain our vital skate park! What a win-win-win for our community!

Sue is the absolute best kind of public servant. She'd be a huge asset to Rhode Islanders in statewide office! @sueanderbois.bsky.social

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Ward 3 newsletter in inboxes this morning! www.sueanderbois.com/post/novembe...

Thanks to the Task Force for a super productive meeting last night! Someone asked recently - how are you guys getting so much done after decades without change?! Let’s keep going!

East Side! The Providence School Board has an opening. Apply here by December 12. www.providenceri.gov/mayor/provid...

Yes!! Exactly this!!!

Congratulations to Jill Davidson for your win in Ward 2! Jill, you ran a great, positive, issues- & neighborhood-focused race. I’m looking forward to serving alongside you on Council!

Ward 2: Vote for your next city councilor today! If you're Ward 2, you likely received lots of mail! But, if you're unsure if you're Ward 2, or where to vote, check vote.ri.gov Polls are open until 8 p.m. Still undecided? Here's the video from one of the candidate forums. buff.ly/2Aco236

Happy Election Day to all the Rhode Islanders living in Providence's Wayland, Blackstone and College Hill neighborhoods! more info: vote.sos.ri.gov

Thank you to Zack Scott and the PPSD team for answering nearly 2 hours of questions on school construction in Ward 3. Big appreciation to the 60ish ward 3 residents for showing up and asking such thoughtful and thorough questions!

Welcome to Providence, Bitty & Beau’s! Described as “a human rights movement disguised as a coffee shop,” Bitty & Beau’s employs people with disabilities! 💙☕️ Transit: @RIPTA.com Routes 51, 54, 58, 72 & R-Line or a 0.2-mile walk from PVD Train Station & Kennedy Plaza 🚌🚆

Happy Halloween Ward 3! Come on out to our 3rd annual Trunk or Treat!

Grateful for time with amazing colleagues from across the east coast who have become dear friends. Proud of my work bestie & I for ‘passing the torch’ on a team we’ve led in our ‘spare time’ for 3 years and having 5 people needed to fill the gaps. (Yes, I literally brought torches)

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

At a work retreat for my day job, and one of my colleagues exclaims, ‘Wait, you are like a real live Leslie Knope!’ There is no great compliment!

"No longer should we think about our political process as settling for the lesser of two evils. We can demand a greater good. And in doing so, we can make City Hall a place from which New Yorkers expect change, not failure."

Food security is increasingly challenging - and I was glad to join Councilor Sanchez to support the Aquidneck Community Table, led by my good friend Rose Jones.

Checked out This is Not a Drill at the Globe Docs Film Festival in Cambridge — with a follow on Q&A with film participant and PVD resident Peter Case. Amazing & inspiring film about community activists taking on Big Oil in their communities & winning! Check it out!

I love this state. Getting to see an awesome performing arts group perform a song about my dog at one of my favorite spots in downtown (As220) was something I’ll never forget! youtu.be/2ctX6eL74yU

Do Rhode Islanders care about potentially being shortchanged AGAIN by Rhode Island Energy to the tune of nearly 40 million dollars? Got questions for the governor regarding why he thinks that’s a good idea? We do. And we’re fighting back. Thank you Warwick Post! warwickpost.com/riag-ri-ener...

Thank you to author Marc Dunkelman for going more in-depth on how you envision making government work again. Thanks to our panelists, @sueanderbois.bsky.social, @holyspokes.bsky.social, and Michael DiBiase for your valuable insights and inspiring ideas!

RIPTA’s service cuts have made it so much harder for riders to get where they need to go. 😭🚌 Fill out this survey and share with fellow RIPTA riders you know: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I heard there’s been some speculation of additional mayoral candidates in Providence & #CaptainRuggles *is* currently running for re-election for mayor of 5th St but would welcome the opportunity to Ruggle the whole city.

There are a lot of think pieces about why trust in government is so poor. People appreciate when you respect them enough to tell them the truth.

Don’t forget - this is tonight!! I’m looking forward to joining some fantastic RIers + the author of Why Nothing Works on this panel tonight!

Ward 3! I know there are lots of good questions about proposed construction at both MLk School & Hope High. PPSD & RIDE staff will be on hand to discuss the proposed construction and answer all of our questions. Join us! I’ll also be available for overall neighborhood & City updates and questions!

Proud to celebrate Miriam’s groundbreaking on their new, updated facility in Ward 3. We are grateful for Miriam as a neighbor in this community and I hope their next 100 years of operation in this space is even more successful than the first. Thank you for continuing to invest in our community.

My friend’s cat has started finding scissors and carrying them around the house in his mouth. This is the most ‘2025’ energy. These are all taken on separate days with different scissors.

Thank you Councilman Roias for inviting me to talk with your constituents about what we can do about high electricity prices! And thank you Principal Scott for hosting us at E Cubed!

Join us 10/22 for a dive into “Why Nothing Works” Excited to hear what @sueanderbois.bsky.social @holyspokes.bsky.social @ripec1.bsky.social have to say! @neighborswelcomeri.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/ticketed_eve...

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...

Thank you Kate Sayles for the lovely sketch about my best buddy Captain Ruggles - the Mayor of 5th St! Hearing a song about my dog sung on stage at AS220 is now a core memory. Thank you for joining me for the show, Lou! (The sign is a spoof off of how I met Ruggles at the Balise Toyota in Warwick)

I interrupt your doomscroll with Captain Ruggles earnestly wondering why you aren’t wrestling with him *right now*

Rhode Island has been rejecting kings for 250+ years, and we continue to show up. Thanks for capturing this so well Steve!
