ABOUT REP. SHERRY ROBERTS


Picture
Printer Friendly View
Sherry Roberts serves the residents of District 29, which includes West Greenwich and Coventry. In her fifth term, she was first elected to office in November 2014. She serves as a member of two House standing committees, which include: 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); and Education (oversees legislation to create state education policies and practices).

Roberts is an advocate for fiscal accountability, transparency and honest policies in state government. She introduced legislation, which passed in the House during the 2019 Session, to address removing the deceased off of Rhode Island’s voter rolls, a step toward providing better oversight in our elections. She steadfastly opposes legislation that increases taxes or newly imposed fess. She has identified gaps in legislative action concerning Rhode Island’s most vulnerable --including our ever growing elderly population and children, especially those in state care. Roberts led the initiative to create the “School to Jobs” program by partnering Coventry High School with Electric Boat- creating a current model for statewide implementation. During that time, she also helped to save the high school's ROTC program.

During the 2019 legislative session, the Republican Caucus moved the needle on a number of important state government issues on behalf of Rhode Island’s hardworking taxpayers.  Roberts was recognized for her impressive legislative voting records in preserving individual and constitutional freedoms by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity, as an honoree of its prestigious 2019 Middendorf Pillar of Freedom Award; and the Rhode Island Farm Bureau recognized Roberts with the 2019 Legislative Award. 
 

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.  Please click here to view the RI House Minority Report: 2023 Legislative Session Recap for an impressive list of caucus accomplishments.

Roberts attended the Community College of Rhode Island and University of Rhode Island. She was employed at the State of Rhode Island’s Department of Children, Youth and Families for 16 years prior to her retirement.

Roberts resides in West Greenwich.

About rhode island house republicans


​In 1636, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, established the first working model of Democracy after being banished from Massachusetts for his “extreme views” concerning freedom of speech and religion. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams publicly acknowledged Williams as the originator of these concepts, along with the freedom of public assembly, in the First Amendment in the United States Constitution. Today, Rhode Island House Republicans uphold the liberties designed by our Founders and preserved in our Constitution, and are the primary legislative body promoting lean government, fighting for lower taxes, and advocating for initiatives and policies that improve the economy and in turn, the lives of Rhode Islanders.  As members of a part-time assembly, we are small business owners, retired educators, community activists, lawyers, farmers, military service veterans, volunteers, former local officials, retired social workers, coaches, musicians, churchgoers and board directors -- bringing these community engagement and professional experiences to our work, on your behalf, at the Rhode Island State House.
