Rhode Island isn’t just talking about the housing crisis—we’re building our way out of it. The Presley Apartments is a prime example, transforming a hotel into 190 new units. We’ve made real progress, and we’re accelerating toward our goal of permitting 15K new units by 2030.

Rhode Island is building momentum, attracting investment, supporting small businesses, and creating good-paying jobs as we compete on the global stage. Great to see leaders engaged in this work at Bryant University's 2025 Global Trade Summit.

Energy costs are putting real pressure on families and businesses, especially in the winter months. We’re moving forward with a $180M relief package that provides direct help and puts money back in Rhode Islanders’ pockets.

Rhode Island’s Hispanic community is a vital part of our state’s culture, economy and future. It was an honor to celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth with the Rhode Island Hispanic Chamber of Commerce at their annual gala, a reminder of the strength that comes from diversity and community.

I’m joining fellow governors to call on Congress to extend the vital tax credits that make health coverage affordable for millions of Americans, including tens of thousands of Rhode Islanders. With families already facing rising costs, Congress must act to keep coverage within reach.

Last week, I rolled out a $180M energy relief package designed to put money back in Rhode Islanders’ pockets. Today, I appeared before the Public Utilities Commission to urge them to approve this package—and to go even further by delivering at least $25M in additional relief.

Halting work on Revolution Wind—a major project that's 80% complete—is like running a marathon, only to sit down just as the finish line comes into view. It’s not just a missed opportunity—it’s a deliberate step backward on advancing energy and creating jobs.

Today, the Trump administration withdrew $11.25M from the Port of Davisville—undermining Rhode Island’s infrastructure and threatening our economic and energy growth. This move holds our progress back.

Rhode Island’s higher ed leaders are right—halting Revolution Wind puts at risk clean energy progress, workforce training, and vital research. With the project nearly complete, we can’t afford to turn back on jobs, affordable energy and our climate future. #OurJobsOurEnergy

Gun violence in schools is every parent’s worst nightmare. Our hearts go out to the Annunciation Catholic School community in Minneapolis, and we offer our thanks to the first responders for their brave actions.

Rhode Island is where innovation thrives. Andruil is bringing cutting-edge manufacturing to @quonsetri.bsky.social with a new 150K sq. ft. facility to build unmanned underwater vehicles—creating 100 good-paying jobs. A major win for Rhode Island’s role in defense and the blue economy.

At 80% completion, Revolution Wind has already generated 1,000 union jobs and is on the cusp of generating reliable, affordable energy for RI and CT. We need Washington to understand that we can’t stop short of the finish line without harming our economy. #OurJobsOurEnergy

At a time when we should be moving forward with solutions for energy, jobs and affordability, the Trump Administration is choosing delay and disruption. Governor Lamont and I will pursue every avenue to reverse the decision to halt work on Revolution Wind.

Judge Caprio was a RI treasure. As we mourn his passing, my thoughts go out to his family, friends, and all who loved him. I've also directed RI flags at all state agencies and buildings to be flown at half-staff in Judge Caprio's memory. I ask all RIers to lower their flags as a sign of respect.

Today, I ceremonially signed legislation to expand Rhode Island’s paid family leave program. Starting in 2027, workers will see higher wage replacement rates under TDI/TCI so no one has to choose between their paycheck and family. Proud to keep RI a leader in supporting workers.

Student mental health is a top priority for my administration. Our new partnership with the Rhode Island Department of Education and Bradley Hospital will strengthen supports in schools—because when students are healthy and supported, they’re more likely to attend and thrive. #AttendanceMattersRI

In Rhode Island, we see censorship for what it is: a way to limit what we can learn about the world—and about each other. Today, I was joined by legislators to ceremonially sign the Freedom to Read Act into law.

Through our Community Learning Center initiative, we're helping cities and towns expand access to education, job training, and health resources right in their own communities. Today’s groundbreaking in East Providence marks another major step toward opening 20 centers statewide.

With new reforms and innovative approaches launching this year, we're building a more efficient and strategic homelessness services system. Our mission is clear: to connect people with the support they need while investing every dollar responsibly.

The first @ripta.com efficiency proposal relied too heavily on across-the-board service cuts. I'm encouraged that the Board took my recommendation to pursue a more balanced plan. Supporting public transit is important—as is protecting taxpayers' trust in how we spend their money.

What a great way to thank all the builders involved in helping open @rhodeislandfc.bsky.social’s new home at Centreville Bank Stadium. It will continue to bring joy to Rhode Island families for years to come.

I'm among the 17 governors calling on the U.S. Department of Education and OMB to immediately release $6.8 billion in federal education funding already approved by Congress for 2025. Our students, educators, and schools can’t afford delays. We must deliver on our promise. 📄⬇️
