Door to door in District 70

Constituent Services

Throughout my time as an elected official in Tiverton and later District 70, I have been working continuously for my constituents. Helping people navigate State government and getting their issues addressed has been the greatest part of serving. During this current pandemic, there has been more need for help from resolving unemployment issues, to helping schedule appointments at the DMV, to stopping illegal evictions.

Fair Housing

Tiverton Senior Center

Door to door in District 70

One of the items that I have worked on throughout my tenure has been housing issues.

Safe, affordable housing for all has been one of my primary focuses throughout my term. I sponsored legislation that stopped renters from being evicted during foreclosures which was enacted. I am currently working on getting more safe, affordable, sober housing for recently released inmates within substance abuse issues.

Sen Felag and I deliver a new US Flag to the Tiverton Senior Center. The Flag flew over the US Capital and was generously donated by Congressman David Cicciline. This year, Sen Felag & I have delivered GA grant checks to the Senior center (every year) as well as other local groups looking for one time grants for a large variety of projects and needs.
