Aaron Regunberg is running for Lt. Governor of Rhode Island. He is 28, and he is part of the new wave of progressive Democrats trying to remake the party.
If you live in Rhode Island, please vote for him. If you don’t, please send him $5 or $10 or whatever.
Aaron was a co-founder of the Providence Student Union in 2010, which has been a remarkable activist organization that has fought for school funding, against high-stakes testing, and for student voice.
He has served for two terms in the state House of Representatives, where he has introduced and passed important legislation to protect the environment and support workers’ rights. He supported Bernie Sanders in 2016. He has been endorsed by the Working Families Party.
Having watched him lead the student movement in Providence, I know him as a strong and effective fighter for the right stuff.

I’ve followed Aaron Regunberg’s career for several years now. He is exactly the type of leader this country needs. Right now.
Aaron Regunberg has been an exceptional progressive leader for a long time, pls do send him a donation for his campaign.
He looks like a great candidate. Here’s what his campaign website says about healthcare:
:”Every year since his election, Aaron has introduced legislation to create a single payer “Medicare-for-all” system in Rhode Island. He believes that healthcare is a fundamental human right, not a privilege for those who can afford it, and as Lt. Governor he will fight every day to make that vision a reality in our state.”
I live out of state and can’t vote for him, but I will send him a donation!
The governor Gina Raimondo was a hedge fund manager. She froze teachers’ pensions to cut costs. Her husband is a player in the charter industry. He was also Cory Booker’s roommate at Yale Law School. Keeping my fingers crossed that one day soon Aaron will replace Gina.
