What would I do differently at the Rhode Island State House?

For starters....actually read the bills before voting on them. 👀

@_Pete_Robertson I appreciate the share!

Not my district, but I trust Vanessa to fight for a better community and a better Rhode Island.

If elected into the Rhode Island State Senate, I'll work to raise academic standards, ensure every education dollar is spent effectively, and give parents a real seat at the table and a meaningful voice in their children's education.

Did you know that only 15% of students in Pawtucket are proficient in math? Or that only 19% can read at grade level?

Those numbers aren't just statistics.
They represent thousands of children being left behind.

[Vanessa Lopez for Rhode Island State Senate @VanessaForRI]

We are failing these students, and too many leaders at the State House are focused on everything except fixing the problem.

I'm running for RI State Senate in District 15 because our families deserve better than a government that treats them like an ATM.

I'm doing an Ask Me Anything! Drop your questions in the comments below and I'll be making video responses to as many as I can.

The questions can be related to policies, why I'm running, what I'd do differently at the State House, or anything else on your mind (within reason)

@CharlesHilton86 If there's anything you'd like to ask regarding my stances, or other ideas, please go right ahead! I'm an open book! 2/2

Politicians in Rhode Island are pushing Ranked-Choice Voting and calling it a "smarter" way to vote. But a Princeton University study found that it disproportionately reduces minority voters' influence.

Any system that does that isn't "smart."
It's a problem.

[Vanessa Lopez for Rhode Island State Senate @VanessaForRI]

@CharlesHilton86 Hi Charles! So sorry I missed this! My top priorities are getting the state budget under control (cutting government waste) lowering taxes, supporting local business owners, improving our schools (getting back to the basics!) and expanding mental health support... 1/2
