I am committed to staying involved and look forward to seeing people around our two incredible towns. I congratulate @LindaUjifusa on her victory and wish her luck in the General Election. 2/2

[Matt Chappell for State Senate @MChappellRI]

I am incredibly proud of the campaign that we ran. And while we didn’t get the results we hoped for - I remain inspired by the people that opened their doors and shared their stories and ideas with us. 1/2

Update on the hate speech vandalism at the Common Fence Point Community Center. After the @portsmouthdems fundraiser I offered to help remove the hate speech from the fence. With the help of other volunteers, the hate speech is now gone. This is community. #hatehasnohomehere

“As a provider of behavioral healthcare and recovery support services, I know Matt will be a collaborative partner to work on policies to reduce the barriers to access treatment for substance use disorders and mental health. I am proudly voting for Matt to be our next Senator.”

[Matt Chappell for State Senate @MChappellRI]

This is completely unacceptable. And it's frightening that this level of hatred is showing itself in our community. I look forward to being with the @portsmouthdems today and will help to clean this up! https://t.co/jAwXIM14bG

"We’re voting for Matt because we need to bring the next generation to the State House. Young people are being pushed out of our community because the cost of living has become too much and housing is not available. Matt will work hard to change that."

[Matt Chappell for State Senate @MChappellRI]

Stopped in at the @EBCAP #rallyforrecovery today at Colt State Park. Great to see community support out there. If elected I will prioritize increasing access to mental health and helping those with substance use disorders. #itsoknottobeok

[Matt Chappell for State Senate @MChappellRI]

"Matt is ready to work on policy that will increase access to mental healthcare and better address substance use disorders that have become all too prevalent in our society - and amongst our youth. As an educator, I see the need for this kind of leadership. That leader is Matt."

[Matt Chappell for State Senate @MChappellRI]

“As a local business owner it is important to me that we elect someone that understands the needs of our community and the importance of communication and transparency. I have known Matt for a long time - and can say confidently that Matt is the leader we need in the @RISenate.”

What an incredible night for the One Union, One Vote Rally! Thank you to all the union members for their attendance and support! Election Day is this Tuesday! Vote, vote, vote! 🗳

[Matt Chappell for State Senate @MChappellRI]

"Matt knows the importance of public education because he is a product of it. We want our family to grow here in our community and go to our schools. We know Matt will support our students and teachers every step of the way, and that's why we're supporting him in the Primary."

[Matt Chappell for State Senate @MChappellRI]

Great time talking with local business leaders and community members at the @Newport_Chamber candidates' night. looking forward to working together!

[Matt Chappell for State Senate @MChappellRI]

Take note of the flooding you see in your communities Rhode Island. This problem will become more severe nearly everywhere as a result of climate change, (plus poor development and land use decisions.) We must mitigate, plus invest in resilience.

[Matt Chappell for State Senate @MChappellRI]

Our infrastructure is not equipped to handle several inches of rain in a short period of time — especially after a long drought. We need to face climate change head on - this is not a test. I hope everyone is safe.

This just happened outside my house on Pleasant Valley Parkway. The water from the viaduct flooded over the street and the current was strong enough to pull the car in. My neighbor broke the window and pulled the driver out!

[PlannedParenthoodVotes!RI @ppvotesri]

Our reproductive rights and access to basic health care are on the line — and on the ballot. Rhode Island's primary elections are coming up on September 13, and early voting is open NOW.

We need to re-elect reproductive freedom champion @Val_Lawson (SD 14) on or before Sept. 13!

[Bridget Valverde @bridget4ri]

From @kathyprojo, here's more proof the vast majority of RIers support the Equality in Abortion Coverage Act. It’s what we’ve known all along & what we told Dan McKee last year when @lianacassar and I asked him to include it in his budget. He refused.
