A historically bad night for RI GOP in Assembly races
GOP will control only 2 of 38 Senate seats - just 5% - a record low in the near-century since RI's Bloodless Revolution of 1935
Prior low was 8% in 1975
House, at 8 seats, still better than 2008/2012

Senator-elect James Talarico (D-TX) shares a message to Elon Musk, who donated more than $150 million last month to a super PAC supporting Senate Republicans: “The power in this state, in this country, belongs to the people, and we’ve got to make sure it stays that way.”
Deb Haaland, a 35th-generation New Mexican from the Pueblo of Laguna, became the first Native American woman elected governor in a race against Republican Gregg Hull, a former mayor.
The Democrat can now add first Native American female governor in U.S. history to the list of barriers she has broken. In 2018, Haaland was one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress. Then, she became the first Native American Cabinet secretary, running the Department of the Interior in 2021 during the Biden administration.
You deserve a government that works as hard for you as you do for your family. Democrats will lower costs, protect health care, end senseless wars, and stop tariffs that make life more expensive. If you haven’t already, I hope you vote today. It’s high time we put people first again!
This Election Day, you have the power to change the direction of this country, but only if you vote.

Some words from Senator Whitehouse from this past Get Out the Vote weekend that meant a lot to me. We all have to be focused and determined in this fight, and with only one day to go till Election Day, I’m grateful to have the support of a Senator who has proven himself to be a fierce fighter for our state, not only in Washington but as a former Rhode Island Attorney General himself.

The same year Jimmy Stewart won an Academy Award for “The Philadelphia Story,” he was drafted into the U.S. Armed Forces.
Stewart served as a pilot, flying 20 successful missions, during World War II — and came home a different man.
Lee Cowan spoke to the stars of the new film “Jimmy,” KJ Apa and Max Casella, and Stewart’s daughter, Kelly Stewart Hardcourt, about what the actor’s service did to his soul.
