The Newport Community

The Newport Community - of the 39 cities and towns in the State of Rhode Island, Newport, I believe, is the most desirable.  It is a city. diverse, sophisticated, and complex, yet small and manageable.

However, Newport has many challenges.   

Newport needs a stronger program to help maintain rather than replace its building and infrastructure. (such as we are now seeing with the high school and Easton beach).

Housing, particularly work force housing, is needed to provide a local work force to allow workers to earn a living  wage and remain in the community in which they work.  Business will be attracted to a community with an available work force.

Elderly housing to provide affordable housing for our long term residents.

Traffic – always a problem but traffic issues must be minimized.

Continue to promote Newport’s pedestrian advantages with clean sidewalks as well as clean streets.

It is imperative that city operations respond to all residents.

Lean budgets ensure efficiency. 

Health and safety are always a top priority

I hope to bring some level of experience, talent, and certainly my persistence to elected office to address and resolve Newport’s many issues.

Please consider my candidacy.
