Born and raised in Rhode island

Born and raised in Rhode Island, Joe comes from a family with a long tradition of public service and community leadership.

As an attorney with almost two decades of experience, Joe has spent years working within the legal system to protect Rhode Island families.

During his time at the State House, Joe fought to protect Rhode Island families – passing laws to protect our children and seniors, fighting insurance companies to keep affordable access to healthcare, holding public utility companies accountable to consumers, and pushing for laws to make sure that the government is fighting for who really matters – the people of Rhode Island.  

Joe lives in Warwick with his wife Sarah, and their two rescue dogs Gigi and Freddie.
