About Lenny
Lenny is a proud gay man and registered nurse who has been on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis. The son of an educator and a union leader, he has always known the value of strong schools and good jobs, which is why he is pushing to ensure school teachers earn a liveable wage and that quality education is a Constitutional right in Rhode Island. Lenny plans on bringing solutions to our Senate—from building a fairer tax system to increasing access to green affordable homes for all.
​
Lenny is running against current Senate President Dominick Ruggerio, who as the most tenured senator in Rhode Island has sat in office since 1985. The time for change is here, and we can no longer allow our government to be run by the same corrupt politicians that have failed to make meaningful change for LGBTQIA+ residents for almost 40 years. Lenny, we thank you for stepping up to the challenge of replacing corruption with integrity and a commitment to serving everyday Rhode Islanders.
