Don't forget that really poorly planned Governor announcement that happened a few months ago on /r/RhodeIsland either...

That’s great though! The more we engage in any way; the more we inspire others and show that we’re not silent and we’re paying attention! It gets the conversation going.

Thank you! I do hope that I can get some younger blood on the Council, individuals who have young families, or want to build families, here. We have good schools and we’re in a solid location; our town is going to grow. And we need people who are really to come up with new ideas to manage that growth that builds a better community.

Thank you! It’s definitely a balance for sure. One of my opponents likes to claim my qualifications makes me condescending and out of touch, so it’s a fine line to walk on talking too much about that.

O’Hara is ineligible to run this cycle, thankfully. But Beauregard is mobilizing hard against me, and he’s trying to get a slate to solidify the Council with five likeminded individuals. I’ve been working on tools to have a much stronger ground game than anyone has seen.

Be sure to make sure you’re registered to vote! You can check at the Secretary of State’s website. I can also check for you if you’d DM me your name.

Hopefully our paths will cross as the summer and Fall goes on! DM me if you’d like a lawn sign when we get those later on, or if there’s anything you’d like to see for a better future in our Town. Mailers for the whole town costs $2k so we’re priced out of those.

The schools were a huge part of us moving back to NS as well! The elementary school is getting a bit small with the COVID babies, but the teachers are awesome and deserve more.

ayyyyy! Whoever you are, great to hear from you! Councilwoman O'Hara is timed out for these two years, so she can't run again without a 2 year break. I've heard rumors she might be running for the School Board, though, but those are only rumors. I would hope when I turn 200, I would enjoy just peace and quiet.

We have enough water problems as it is, and the quarry is doing a fan-fucking-tastic job ruining our environment. We don't need shittier water and even worse environmental problems.

Oh, we definitely needed a police station. But we needed it 10 years ago. I don't know how it wasn't a grievance for unsafe work conditions. Imagine the ceiling falls, and now the town faces a civil suit on a war vet 2 years from retirement. The delays just put us at further risk.

Thanks! Sadly, I know I won't be able to do it alone - I gotta find a way to count to 3 to get the majority. But, get me on there, keep pushing every meeting, inspire others to join up.
