Additional comment from candidate:

I have never held public office and at 59 years young, I am not looking for a new career. I am running for Congress because our representative in RI's 2nd District no longer represents his constituents. His loyalties lie with his party and many contributors who are a who's who of special interest groups and big business. Those entities will have no influence over me as my only mission is to serve the citizens of our country and my constituents in RI's 2nd district.
