To better reflect the most up-to-date information, we are establish- ing a special page on our website that will provide updates whenever changes to the legislature or the election calendar occur – such as through resigna- tions, special elections or other unforeseen circum- stances. The page on our website will not replace the printed legislative directory, but will serve as a companion page that, together with the directory, will ensure that you always have the best and most accurate and up-to-date information available at your fingertips. The companion page can be found on our website at www.rhodeislandaflcio.org, under the ’Resources’ tab on our home page. 4 RHODE ISLAND GENERAL ASSEMBLY Presiding Officers And Leaders SENATE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE SR.
