Leader Michael Chippendale and Tara Granahan WPRO discuss the potential pay raises for RI State Department heads by Gov McKee. Besides constituents not seeing results in many of these core government functions, the timing couldn't be worse with our pensioners being ignored, our electricity and food bills skyrocketing, budget at an all time high, etc. -- if anything, we should be investing in an Office of an Inspector General to get accountability and transparency.

The Publics Radio - The start of 2024 has been a challenging time for Democratic Governor Dan McKee. The closing of the westbound Washington Bridge has aggravated Rhode Islanders. And the rising cost of a soccer arena in Pawtucket raises other questions. It’s unclear if these issues offer an opportunity for local Republicans.

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.
