“We’re happy to have this opportunity to connect with our neighbors as the 2019 legislative session gets started. Senator Euer and I are looking forward to hearing what the people of Newport would like to see us accomplish at the State House, discussing the legislation we plan to introduce and having a conversation about the issues facing the state this year,” said Representative Carson (D-Dist. 75, Newport) in a prepared statement.

Said Senator Euer (D-Dist. 13, Newport, Jamestown) in the statement, “We’d like to encourage all of our constituents in Newport and Jamestown to stop by and chat with us. We are your voice at the State House, and we rely on conversations with you to represent our community and its needs. We want to hear what’s on your minds, and we will listen.”
