Statement from Rhode Island Republican Party on Tragic Pawtucket Shooting

WARWICK, RI – Republican Party of Rhode Island Chairman Allyn Meyers released the following statement on the tragic shooting in Pawtucket on Monday:

“Rhode Island is devastated by the senseless act of violence that occurred on Monday in Pawtucket. A celebration of high school boys on their senior day from several area high schools was forever marred by this tragedy.”

“Our hearts are with the victims, parents, family members, teachers, and everyone impacted by this incident. We are deeply grateful to the first responders who acted swiftly to provide aid to the injured, secure the scene, and continue their investigation. The entire Republican Party of Rhode Island is united in prayer for healing and strength for all affected.”

“Rhode Island, like much of the country, is confronting a profound mental health and crisis. Families are bearing the weight of that crisis at a scale we can no longer dismiss as incidental. That weight now hits closer to home than ever before.”

“As we move forward, we must look at all root causes of this act of violence and not shy away from discussions and serious policy decisions about mental health, treatment, and the wider impact on the community. There is no one-fix solution, but an honest evaluation of harmful policies is much-needed to stem any future violent acts from harming Rhode Islanders.”

Meyers: Three Years After Washington Bridge Closure, No One Held Accountable

Meyers: Three Years After Washington Bridge Closure, No One Held Accountable

WARWICK, RI – Today, Republican Party of Rhode Island Chairman Allyn Meyers released the following statement following the announcement of Peter Alviti’s departure as Director of RIDOT:

“Just over three years after the public learned of the closing of the Washington Bridge, and following Governor McKee’s subsequent promise of a “day of reckoning,” Rhode Island taxpayers have yet to see anyone held accountable for the failure to maintain the primary crossing point between the two ends of the state,” said Chairman Allyn Meyers.

“With today’s announcement of RIDOT Director Peter Alviti’s “retirement,” Rhode Islanders are reminded that poor leadership at the highest levels allowed drivers to commute for months over a bridge that was critically unsafe for travel,” said Meyers. “Serious warnings were ignored, blame was shifted, businesses have been forced to close, and the taxpayers are left with a bill of more than $300 million.”

“When seeking information about this once-in-a-generation crisis, the public and media were met with deflection and obfuscation,” Meyers continued.

“Rhode Islanders deserve leaders who proactively solve problems before they become critical and are fully transparent when concerns arise,” Meyers said. “The Rhode Island Republican Party calls for a renewed, urgent focus on repairing and maintaining our state’s bridges and roads, and even more importantly, for its elected leaders to finally be held accountable for years of neglect and failure.”

“Our Party looks forward to the election and appointment of competent leaders who put politics aside and prioritize the well-being of Rhode Islanders first,” Meyers concluded.

Allyn Meyers Elected Chairman of the Rhode Island Republican Party Following Pivotal Leadership Contest

Warwick, RI — The Rhode Island Republican Party is pleased to announce the election of Allyn Meyers of Tiverton as Chairman following a pivotal leadership contest. Chairman Meyers called the moment defining for the Party and urged Republicans statewide to unify and focus on the critical 2026 midterm elections.

“I am deeply humbled and honored to have been elected Chairman of the Rhode Island Republican Party,” said Meyers. “This victory does not belong to me alone. It belongs to the volunteers, party leaders, candidates, and elected officials who have knocked doors, made calls, donated to the cause, and believed in our shared mission to build a stronger, election-ready Republican Party in the Ocean State.”

Meyers expressed his gratitude to Acting Chair Niyoka Powell and the Executive Committee for their leadership during the transition.

“To our Acting Chair, Niyoka Powell, our former Executive Director, Aidan Carey, and the entire Executive Committee–thank you for your stewardship and guidance, and for laying the foundation that allows us to move forward with purpose.”

Looking ahead, Meyers framed his chairmanship as focused on organizational discipline and results, with an emphasis on unity.

“In Rhode Island, we win when we win together. The Party cannot afford division,” Meyers said. “Victory comes from unifying behind our shared platform and supporting the nominees who emerge from fair, hard-fought primaries.”

Meyers emphasized an open approach to leadership and a renewed push toward party-building efforts ahead of 2026.

“My door is open to everyone,” Meyers added. “It’s time to rally around our common goals, and get to work organizing, fundraising, registering voters, and turning out Rhode Islanders who share our vision.”

Center Launches Petition Calling for Affordable Energy Policies

Make your voice heard with the Act On Climate Commission
 
 

Good day,

Today, I’m asking you to  help us win  an important energy policy battle.

Yesterday, our  RI Center for Freedom & Prosperity  launched an online petition drive calling for policymakers to support a fundamental pivot away from our state’s current energy strategy, which will lead to staggeringly high electricity prices and potentially dangerous blackouts.

Can we count on you to sign on? The petition can be accessed by clicking here.

The petition challenges the Senate Commission to Study the Implementation of (Rhode Island’s) Act On Climate mandates and to recommend a new energy strategy that prioritizes securing affordable and abundant energy for the people of Rhode Island instead of seeking-out unreliable and costly green energy sources … in desperate hope of meeting our state’s arbitrary and unachievable ‘net zero’ emissions goals.

And it’s working! Our petition already has over 250 signatures … and since I went on the radio for a full hour on WPRO yesterday, the Chairman of the Senate Commission has  personally invited me  to testify in front of his commission next week.

As public outcry about the high costs and risks associated with existing green energy policies continues to grow, many other northeast states have either modified – or signaled their intent to modify – their unsustainable policies, this petition gives voice to Ocean State residents who are concerned that they and our state will suffer future ‘energy poverty’.

Each petition submitted will automatically send an email to all Commission members and to other key legislative leaders and will include optional personal comments from each petitioner.

Samples of personal commentary from submitted petitioners – like you – can be viewed on The Ocean State Current including:

  • “My energy bills are outrageous!”
  • “Repeal the Act on Climate. It is destructive to impose this expensive, job killing, budget burden on Rhode Island families”
  • “All of the green energy policies that have been passed by this administration are bankrupting Rhode Islanders.  Let’s put RI families FIRST!!”
  • “Rhode islanders will not survive with current climate goals set. Stop offshore wind and cutting down trees for solar farms.”

Please make your voice heard by signing-on today! Thank you.

Robert Raimondo CPA CMA Announces Campaign for Governor, Pledges to Eliminate State Income Taxes, Spur Economic Growth and Restore Accountability in State Government

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 21, 2026

Contact: raimondo4governor@gmail.com

Robert Raimondo CPA CMA Announces Campaign for Governor, Pledges to Eliminate State Income Taxes, Spur Economic Growth and Restore Accountability in State Government.

Providence, RI – Robert Raimondo CPA CMA announces his candidacy for Governor, launching a campaign centered on affordability, economic growth, and restoring trust and accountability in state government.

“At a time when Rhode Islanders are struggling with rising costs and an economy that is not working for everyone, we need a bold vision of tomorrow.”   “I’m running for Governor to make Rhode Island more affordable, more accountable, and more competitive.”

The main item of Raimondo’s campaign is the elimination of state income taxes to help working families keep more of their paychecks, attract new residents, and encourage businesses to invest and grow in Rhode Island.

“Rhode Islanders are taxed enough,” Raimondo said.  “Eliminating state income taxes will lower costs for families, help seniors on fixed incomes, and make our state a magnet for jobs and opportunity.”

Raimondo also called for the establishment of strong, independent Inspectors General across state government to root out waste, fraud and abuse, and to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly.

The campaign will emphasize building a business-friendly economy where everyone participates, lowering the cost of doing business, cutting unnecessary regulations, and supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses as the engine of job creation.

PRESS CONFERENCE TO BE HELD AT:

THURSDAY,  JANUARY 22 AT 10:00AM

BREWED AWAKENINGS, 1316 BALD HILL ROAD WARWICK, RI 02886
