State Endorsements 2008

Ben Jones, Political Chair

Given our nearly complete dependence on imported dirty energy, the Ocean State needs leaders that will drive us toward the clean energy economy with renewable power, energy efficient buildings, and clean, affordable transportation choices. The key focus in the coming years will be to install the first-class public transportation system that Rhode Island needs to lick global warming, clean our coastal air, and reduce our dependence on costly imported oil.

General Assembly Candidates are listed by district.
