From the textiles of Slater Mill to the submarines of General Dynamics Electric Boat, Rhode Island has always led the way in producing for our nation. Global competition presents new challenges for Rhode Island manufacturers and I will continue to advocate for programs that level the playing field, help our companies grow and prosper, and create new jobs.
Social Security is a solemn promise. One that people have invested in over their lifetimes. To break that promise and gamble that investment on Wall Street would be a grave mistake.
I believe that our Social Security system can continue to serve as the bedrock of retirement security, and am working to ensure the solvency of the system.
Our planet is now at a crossroads. Global warming is the most pressing environmental challenge of our time, and if it goes unchecked, the consequences for Rhode Island and our entire country will be devastating. I will continue to do all I can to ensure we take steps to address this looming problem, and will work to protect our vital waterways and restore the fundamental integrity of federal environmental regulation.
When Rhode Island Senator Claiborne Pell first proposed the grants that now bear his name, he envisioned a way to help students attend our country’s wonderful colleges and universities, so they could share in the American Dream.
Together, we can keep Pell's vision alive and stand up for middle class families. Please share your story about what Pell Grants have meant to you and your family.
