“The health of the City is Important to Me”

“First and foremost, I love my community. I was born and raised here, attended the East Providence schools and I’m a true Townie.” That was Tracy Adams Capobianco’s first response when asked a series of questions by the ReporterToday.com. Adams Capobianco runs a popular child care center in Riverside and although she has never run for office, she has worked as a campaign volunteer for a few candidates. “I dislike dishonesty in politics and I think candidates should be able to run for office and have a positive interaction on the issues of the day,” she said. Adams Capobianco considered running for school committee but settled in on a city council at large candidacy. “The most important issue that the city is facing is in the area of finances. My main goal would be to assist the city in regaining fiscal responsibility and financial health. As a small business owner, I understand the need to be efficient and fiscally restrained in today’s economy. The state budget commission was sent here and we must cooperate and learn from these experts,” she said. “Our city must come out of this process a better place to live and be wiser for the effort. Once the commission leaves us, it’s up to us to remain fiscally stable. I pledge to help chart a new way of doing business here without losing our identities,” she added.

Adams Capobianco is the mother of two children attending East Providence schools. She resides on Merritt Road in Riverside. “As a local business person I have met people from all parts of East Providence. Running for the council-at-large seat will allow me to represent the concerns of our entire city. I hope that the people who know me know how hard I work when I believe in something. I truly believe in my community and want residents to be happy and proud to live here. My children, immediate and extended family all live here. My number one goal is the fiscal health of East Providence,” she said. “I recognize the difficulties of public office and appreciate all of the work our elected officials have done. Outgoing councilman-at-large Bill Conley was an honest person who served his constituents well. I hope to continue to represent voters well,” she said.

Adams Capobianco is a 1989 graduate of East Providence High and an honors graduate of URI.
