TRANSFORMING EDUCATION
RHODE ISLAND HOUSE REPUBLICANS​​

​

In Rhode Island, we are fighting the civil rights challenge of our time -- which is access to a quality education for ALL children.
 
COVID has only exasperated what we knew for the past two years…that if you don’t live in the right zip code in Rhode Island, and can’t afford private school, your family is destined to an uncertain future. 
 
This page highlights efforts by House Republicans to transform our failing public schools into accountable, quality learning institutions across the state.

THE RIGHT MOVE


Rhode Island House Republicans: We’re looking out for Rhode Island’s children.

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.
