The RIRTL State PAC strongly opposes the following pro-abortion candidates: Senate: Juan Pichardo (D, Dist. 2, Providence), Rhoda Perry (D, Dist. 3, Providence), Charles Levesque (D, Dist. 11, Bristol-Portsmouth), Joshua Miller (D, Dist. 28, Cranston- Warwick), Armand Lusi (R, Dist. 30, Warwick), David Bates (R, Dist. 32, Barrington-Bristol), Susan Sosnowski (D, Dist. 37, New Shoreham-South Kingstown), House: Edith Ajello (D, Dist. 3, Providence), Gordon Fox (D, Dist. 4, Providence), Anastasia Williams (D, Dist. 9, Providence), Grace Diaz (D, Dist. 11, Providence), Damien Baldino (R, Dist. 13, Providence-Johnston), Arthur Handy (D, Dist. 18, Cranston), David Bennett (D, Dist. 20, Warwick), Eileen Naughton (D, Dist. 21, Warwick), Frank Ferri (D, Dist. 22, Warwick), Donald Lally (D, Dist. 33, Narragansett-North Kingstown-South Kingstown), Teresa Tanzi (D, Dist. 34, Narragansett, South Kingstown), Donna Walsh (D, Dist. 36, Charlestown-New Shoreham-South Kingstown-Westerly), Amy Rice (D, Dist. 72, Portsmouth-Middletown-Newport), Deborah Ruggiero (D, Dist. 74, Jamestown- Middletown)

The RIRTL PAC endorses candidates in view of the pro-life legislation we hope to advance during the upcoming legislative session, and the anti-life legislation we foresee having to oppose. We evaluate candidates based on voting records, if any, surveys, interviews, public statements and actions, and private member reports. Should we determine that more than one suitable candidate is running for the same public office, it is our longstanding policy to endorse the incumbent public office holder.
