CARI’s 2020 Primary Endorsements

Climate Action Rhode Island is thrilled to announce its complete round of endorsements for Rhode Island's Democratic primary elections, which take place this September 8.

Over the past four months, despite the pandemic, CARI’s Political and Legislative Mobilization group has grown, organized, and divided itself into eight regional teams spanning the state of Rhode Island. Each team has taken on the responsibility of researching and interviewing the candidates for State House in their region, and identifying candidates in competitive races who are proven climate champions. We are proud to announce the following list of endorsed candidates—9 in the House of Representatives and 9 in the Senate:

Endorsed for the Rhode Island House of Representatives:

 

Endorsed for the Rhode Island State Senate:

 

How can you help?

  • Check that you’re registered to vote! If you need to update your address or other information, the deadline to do so in time for the September primary is Sunday, August 9.
  • Apply for an absentee ballot. Everyone is entitled to vote by mail this year if they so choose, and the application form is simple. Applications must be received at your local board of canvassers by Tuesday, August 18 at 4:00pm. Otherwise, make sure you’re prepared to vote in person on election day.
  • Sign on to help out with campaign events for our endorsed candidates. This is the home stretch! All our endorsed candidates are phone-banking (not fun, but absolutely makes the difference between winning and losing), canvassing door-to-door with safe social distancing, and accepting donations. CARI is tracking volunteer opportunities here: bit.ly/cari-election-events. Can you commit to volunteering for a couple hours just 2 or 3 times between now and the election?
  • Join your region’s CARI Politics Team to participate in group campaign events and CARI’s general election endorsement process.
