“Workers are choosing not to return to nursing facilities as employees because of low wages, lack of benefits, poor working conditions, insufficient staffing levels, and more.” @RISEIUCouncil @Sabina_Matos https://t.co/4ib9estWCN
“Today I’m the first Latina and first black woman to be elected Lt. Governor of the State of RI, but I promise I won’t be the last.” @LGSabinaMatos Felicidades y muchas bendiciones.

As anyone who knows me is aware, I have a huge soft spot for animals. I’m really proud this year’s #ShekarchiScramble golf tournament raised over $45,000 to benefit 3 local animal rescue orgs: @WarwickPaws, @vintage_pet & @AnchorPawsRI.

A child born 18 yrs ago has never seen a world with an #AssaultWeaponsBan. Instead, they've seen a world with Uvalde, Parkland, Sandy Hook and countless active shooter drills.
The '94 ban worked. The House passed the bill in July. The Senate needs to act. https://t.co/YnTZMI5LKE
