Today was a great day for my campaign. I finished first in the Democratic endorsement race for Attorney General at the @RIDemParty State Convention, earning 73 delegate votes and receiving more support than any other candidate in this four-person field. I came just 7 votes short of the majority needed to secure the party’s official endorsement. While no candidate received the endorsement, I am incredibly proud of the broad coalition of Democrats from across Rhode Island who stood with me today. The support I received—more than the next two candidates combined—shows the strength of our campaign and the momentum we are building heading into the September 9th Democratic primary. I want to sincerely thank the members of the Rhode Island Democratic Party for their support and participation in today’s convention. Thank you to Representative Joseph McNamara for nominating me, and thank you to Maureen Maigret for seconding that nomination. Your support means a great deal to me. I am also grateful to the volunteers and staff who worked tirelessly to make this event possible. Your dedication to our democratic process is deeply appreciated. Today’s result is clear: I am the frontrunner in this race for Attorney General, but our work is far from over. I look forward to continuing to earn the trust and support of voters across Rhode Island in the months ahead.
