“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

“This year, Business Insider said Rhode Island has the ninth best state economy. Cranes line the sky, new flights are being launched at T.F. Green, hotels and condominium buildings are being built left and right, new science hubs are breaking ground...” https://t.co/QUnF8P3oTh

[Gina Raimondo @GinaRaimondo]

Rhode Island may be small, but our economy is mighty on the strength of our small businesses and innovative technologies. As Secretary of Commerce, I will harness that same American ingenuity to create good-paying union jobs and build our economy back better than ever before.

I am very excited to have my first blog post published with the Journal of Health and Biomedical Law. It was a tremendously humbling experience to write about how the opioid epidemic has affected so many people in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In honor of @FairfieldU & @FairfieldStags’ farewell to Alumni Hall, my favorite memory: calling @StagsVB’s 2017 title game with @DSaint23 and @JamesPoccia for @wvof885!

A close second: the time I accidentally swore on a web stream following a Fairfield kill.

Family came first for Sue Carcieri. She let me dine with her brood to promote family dinners. Here's my 2009 story. RIP First Lady. https://t.co/tlXSxwDJDq

[Gina Raimondo @GovRaimondo]

Sue Carcieri was a smart, passionate and caring First Lady who served Rhode Island with grace and dignity. She was deeply dedicated to causes that moved her, fighting for breast cancer awareness and heating assistance for RIers in need.

[Ted Nesi @TedNesi]

Terribly sad news. The Carcieris have been married for more than 50 years, and Mrs. Carcieri was only in her 70s. My condolences to her family. https://t.co/xsH7ksd1BG

That was so beautiful. So inspiring.

My sadness for John was coupled by the sensation that for two hours, I was in a different country, where big, not petty things matter, and where patriotism triumphs over party.

I want that world back, and pledge to be better.
