The Young Democrats of Rhode Island Political Action Committee (YDRI PAC) is proud to announce our first round of 2018 endorsements.
“These candidates were selected based on their commitment to the values that young Rhode Islanders care about. Their willingness to take hard stands on the most pressing issues of our time is why they have earned our endorsement, including fighting to reverse the effects of climate change through rapid expansion of our green energy economy, investing in our schools and teachers, fighting for a $15 living minimum wage, expanding protections for workers, standing strong for women’s right to choose, and ensuring every Rhode Islander has access to a high quality and affordable education, housing, and healthcare,” said YDRI PAC Chair Michael Beauregard. “We are very proud to have over 21 young democrats running for various statewide offices in RI and our members are ready to work for these candidates all summer and into the fall elections.”
