U.S. Senator for Rhode Island Sheldon Whitehouse
Welcome

Welcome to my official Senate web site.

I'm honored that the people of Rhode Island have given me their trust to take our country in a new direction. Our nation faces great challenges and even greater opportunities, and we're working hard to make sure Rhode Island's voice is heard as we work to solve the problems we face.

I hope you'll come back often, and use this site to share your thoughts and ideas with me.

Sheldon
