When I was Governor of Massachusetts, we worked to get Sable Island gas into New England.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My vision for a better Rhode Island starts with a simple idea - we are all in this together.
I grew up in the early '70s in New England.
Sometimes we followed the crops, doing migrant labor. We did several years of tenant farming in Western Oregon starting in the early '50s. Later, my stepdad managed gas stations in a small town near Portland.
I went to school in Massachusetts at Hampshire College.
When the Revolution triumphed in 1959, our island was a true Yankee colony. The United States had duped and disarmed our Liberation Army. One couldn't speak of developed agriculture, but of immense plantations exploited on the base of manual and animal labour that in general used neither fertilizers nor machinery.
I was born in Massachusetts and lived there until I was thirteen years old.
In government as well as in trade a new era came to the colonies in 1763.
I will work my heart out to earn the trust of the people of Massachusetts.
I'll bring colleges and industry together to develop new products in marine science, green technology, and medical devices, and to train our workers to fill those jobs... We need to get Rhode Islanders back to work.
I grew up in Far Rockaway and then Long Island.
