State House, Providence – Rhode Island House Republicans unanimously elected Michael W. Chippendale of Foster as Minority Leader, and David J. Place of Burrillville as Minority Whip, to continue in their caucus leadership roles to help drive meaningful legislative reform and policy discussions at the State House.

I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle as we focus on the challenges that face the people of our state.”

“I’m honored to have earned the trust of my friends and colleagues,” said Place. “I look forward to supporting Leader Chippendale and our Caucus as a whole.”

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.
