Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸 But what exactly is Flag Day? Flag Day commemorates June 14, 1777, when the first official American flag was adopted by the Continental Congress. It looked a little different from the flag we know today, but was one of the most famous early designs. It featured 13 white stars arranged in a circle on a blue field, representing the original 13 colonies, with the red and white stripes that remain a symbol of our nation to this day. Last week in Johnston, we celebrated the flag that has represented America’s history, resilience, and freedom for 250 years. 🇺🇸 It was great to pay homage to the flag and to the veterans at the Morgan Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center, thank you for having me!

Today we joined the RI Day of Portugal Flag Raising Ceremony in Newport, celebrating the rich history, culture, and contributions of Rhode Island's Portuguese community. Thank you to the City of Newport and the RI Day of Portugal Committee for bringing people together to honor this important heritage and the enduring ties between our communities. 🇺🇸🇵🇹 #RIDayOfPortugal #PortugueseHeritage #NewportRI

From East Greenwich’s Memorial Day service to the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Exeter, the rain held off and I spent Memorial Day honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day service in Johnston this morning honoring the 42 Johnston men who were killed in action. I enjoy attending these memorial services, never forgetting the people who sacrificed their lives so we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. Also isn't this tank awesome!?

Breakfast of champions, literally ☕️💧 Spent the morning with people who care deeply about Rhode Island’s future, our environment, and protecting something we all depend on: clean water.

Thank you Mayor Holder of Newport for your endorsement!

Over the past few weeks, I have had the privilege of spending time with seniors in both Johnston and Cranston—listening, sharing stories, and seeing firsthand just how important these centers are to the communities they serve. For many older adults, senior centers are so much more than a place to gather. They are spaces for friendship, activity, support, routine, and connection. They provide community in a season of life where that matters deeply. Rhode Island’s seniors helped build the communities we call home, and it’s always an honor to spend time with them, hear their stories, and recognize the value these centers bring every single day.

On Tuesday, we had the honor of joining the Rhode Island Brotherhood of Correctional Officers for their Memorial and Wreath Laying Ceremony. It was a meaningful opportunity to pause, reflect, and honor the correctional officers who dedicated their lives to public service, while remembering those we have lost. These men and women take on one of the most difficult jobs in public safety, often without the recognition they deserve. Rhode Island is safer because of their service and sacrifice, and it’s important that we continue to stand with the officers and families who give so much to our communities.
