I am so grateful to have earned the trust of the people of Providence once more. We couldn't have won this election without your help.We have accomplished so much since I took office in 2015 - we stabilized Providence's short term finances, started removing barriers to opportunity for our students and residents, and invested in infrastructure in all our neighborhoods. But we still have so much work to do in the next 4 years. Thank you so much for your support, Providence. I will continue to work tirelessly on your behalf and keep our city moving in the right direction.
