At a press conference earlier this year about the failed Washington Bridge, Rhode Island’s Democratic leaders had a simple message for voters: “We need money for this bridge—vote Democrat, because Republican’s can’t help.” It’s a familiar tune in the Ocean State, where Democrats have held control for over 80 years, but as the state lags behind on nearly every measurable front, it's worth asking: are Rhode Islanders being strung along?

Let’s take a look at the results of this political monopoly and what it’s costing Rhode Island every day.

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.
