ABOUT REP. GEORGE A NARDONE
George A. Nardone was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2018, and then re-elected in 2020 and 2024, by the residents of Coventry, living within District 28. He sits on three standing House Committees: Finance (considers all propositions relative to the revenue, to inquire into the state of the public debt and to report from time to time their opinion on such propositions for expediency); Small Business (reviews matters relating to the streamlining of licenses and permits, eliminating or decreasing steps and uncoordinated duplicate filings, and reducing spending costs to small businesses); and Environment and Natural Resources (considers legislation pertinent to RI lands, forests, waterways and coastline.)
As a small business owner for the past 26 years, Nardone experienced first-hand the ever-expanding list of burdens imposed on Rhode Island businesses by current policies at the State House. As a freshman legislator in 2019, Nardone sponsored legislation to reduce the state sales tax; successfully championed government transparency through online posting of the Governor’s Executive Orders; and authored an amendment to the medical marijuana bill which addressed an unintended consequence in administering this prescribed treatment to school age children. Nardone promotes ethics reforms, reducing business regulations, repealing the trucking tolls and supports authorizing a Governor’s line-item veto. He is a watchdog for effective government and fights against bills that support special interest programs and policies on the taxpayer’s dime. During the 2023/24 legislative sessions, the Republican Caucus moved the needle on a number of important state government issues on behalf of Rhode Island’s hardworking taxpayers.

Nardone worked three years as a furniture upholsterer at the DJM Company in Pawtucket before owning and operating his own upholstery business, Castle Gate Inc. in North Kingstown. He is a member of the Coventry Republican Committee, the National Republican Committee, and Toast Masters International. He was actively involved in the Coventry Girls Softball League coaching T-ball to fast pitch. Nardone, a life-long Rhode Islander, resides in the Town of Coventry with his wife Dawn (Urquhart) and his daughter, Nicole. video highlightdistrict map

RECAPMEDIA RESOURCESnews & mediaChippendale Will Be Submitting Legislation to Address Unfunded State Education Mandates to Provide Fiscal Relief to Local School Districts
January 17, 2025 State House, Providence, RI - Rhode Island House Minority Leader Michael Chippendale, on behalf of the House Minority Caucus, is submitting legislation to help streamline some unfunded, costly state education mandates on Rhode Island school districts -- many of which do not directly enhance the core education mission or services provided to students. After listening to school committees, including the Warwick School Committee which provided a comprehensive list of concerning mandates, this legislation came into form. Eliminating certain unfunded mandates would provide fiscal autonomy to school districts, allowing local resources to fund learning programs and tools that better service student needs.
