Blake A. Filippi (R) was chosen by the House Republican Caucus as the Minority Leader in November 2018. First elected in November 2014, he has served three terms in office representing House District 36, which includes all of Block Island and Charlestown, and portions of Westerly and South Kingstown.

A Block Island family business owner, a practicing attorney for the defense of constitutional and property rights, and an organic cattle farmer, Leader Filippi is a member of the Rhode Island Farm Bureau and the Rhode Island Bar Association.
​
Leader Filippi distinguishes himself as a thoughtful and informed voice in the Rhode Island General Assembly where he promotes lean, ethical, effective and responsive core government functions. He believes in an honest and strong Rhode Island business climate where hard work and ingenuity is rewarded -- not connections and corporate welfare. He consistently opposes state laws that infringe on an individual’s property rights or a local government’s ability to plan their own communities, and believes in responsible stewardship of the Ocean State’s treasured environment. Leader Filippi is a strong advocate for civil rights and actively promotes legislation that defends an individual’s right to privacy in our digital age.
​
During the 2019 legislative session, under Filippi’s leadership, 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: 2019 Legislative Session Recap for an impressive list of caucus accomplishments.

A graduate of Lincoln High School, he received his Bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Arizona, and obtained his Juris Doctorate degree from the Rutgers University Camden School of Law.

2019 RI FREEDOM INDEX LEGISLATOR SCORECARD


The 2019 Freedom Index was created by the RI Center for Freedom & Prosperity. The Freedom Index examines a legislator's voting record in terms of their likely effect on the free market, the size and scope of government, the balance of residents' interests against those of public employees and beneficiaries, and the constitutional structure of government over the people it represents. In the Rhode Island General Assembly, 95 pieces of legislation were analyzed from the 2019 legislative session. The membership of the House Republican Caucus ranked in the top fifteen of Rhode Island General Assembly legislators (there are 110) who consistently vote for liberty in the State of Rhode Island.

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.
