Jim Russo for Mayor

This November we Townies will be selecting a Mayor for the first time. This is a completely new form of government and it is imperative we get it right the first time. That is why I wholeheartedly support Jim Russo. Jim has the experience needed to usher in this change. As the Chief of Staff for Congressman and Lt Governor Bob Weygand, Jim has put together staffs that were able to perform at a high level and manage budgets. He is a lawyer by trade and has served in various capacities in government on the local, state, and federal level. His 25 years of coaching youth sports in East Providence shows his commitment to the community he was raised in. I have witnessed Jim's leadership ability as a member of the Charter Review Commission. He was able to guide a group of diverse individuals through the task of getting our city ready for the new form of government in an effective and intelligent manner. As a member of his campaign team, I witness firsthand the integrity and intelligence he will bring to the office of Mayor. I ask my fellow Townies to join me on Nov 6th in making Jim Russo our Mayor
