Over the last several weeks, What’sUpNewp has sat down with dozens of candidates across Aquidneck Island and Rhode Island
These one-on-one interviews will introduce you to the candidates, allow the candidates to talk about their platform, and allow us to ask the questions that are important to voters.
Every candidate for every local race and statewide race was invited to join us for a conversation. If you don’t see a candidate, it’s because they didn’t reply or chose not to sit down with us.
