Happy Juneteenth!
Today, I am announcing my run for Providence School Board in Region 1. My decision to run is driven by a commitment to our community and a passion for ensuring that all of our children receive the highest quality education.

Hi neighbors, as we anticipate taking office in January, I’m pleased to share that my team is now accepting applications for two School Board appointments! 📚
If you live in Region 3 (defined as Council Wards 6, 7, and 15) or Region 4 (Wards 8, 9, and 10) — please visit PVDForAll.com to learn more about the process. Applications will be due on Friday, November 20th.
Today, the real story at PPSD is that the School Board will be voting to initiate another contract for professional development services. I encourage my colleagues to vote yes. We need to be at our best to ensure we can effectively support our students.

The Black Panther Party was founded on this day in 1966 in Oakland. Its community programs, like free breakfast for children and health clinics, met real needs that too many institutions ignored.

Economic development too often means handing corporations public money and hoping the public benefits somewhere down the line. @NYCMayor’s quantum partnership with NYU is a different model. As @MazzucatoM said: “One way to socialize both the risks and the rewards is through equity stakes.”
Breaking News: Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration is making a $30 million investment to build a quantum research lab at New York University. In exchange, the city will receive 15% of any proceeds from intellectual property developed in that lab. nyti.ms/4jUe7GD

I'm deeply saddened by the stabbing of a young woman and her 2-year-old child this afternoon on Broad Street. My thoughts are with them and their loved ones as they receive care at the hospital.
I'm grateful to the first responders who acted quickly, and I'm relieved that a suspect is in custody. My thoughts will remain with the victims and their families and I'm wishing them both a full recovery.

You actually have to go back to Paolino in 1984 to find a primary winner with more votes than Morales got this year. Morales was born in 1998.

Providence Councilman Miguel Sanchez, 28, secured enough votes to become the city’s next council president in the 2027-2031 term.
The Democratic nominees for the council caucused last week and voted for other leadership roles, too.

Chief saving officers coming to prov city hall very soon.
Mayor @ZohranKMamdani on cutting down wasteful budget spending:
There was waste. There's also this addiction to consulting. When we looked at the city budget, we realized we had to save money through efficiency. So we set up something called 'Chief Savings Officers' in every department. We saved $94M just by renegotiating contracts to a better rate. We saved $24M by letting go of unused office space. I believe that government has to be the most excellent, efficient version of itself to be worthy of people's trust.

Our Providence students deserve the mental health resources and support they need to succeed. Under our Administration, student mental health services and support for our educators will be a top priority.

Hi neighbors, last week we made history together! Now, we’re carrying that momentum into the General Election on Tuesday, November 3rd, and laying the groundwork for a transition so we’re ready to build a Providence for All on day one.

How WEIRD was the RI primary? I dug in and found out.
- First time EVER that Baby Boomers were outnumbered by younger gens
- Smiley and McKee did better than when they won ???
- Early voting surpassed mail-in, also first time ever
Voters sent a clear message. They’re ready for bold democratic socialist leaders that puts working people and communities first.
It’s time for a democratic socialist to lead our city council Miguel Sanchez (@MSanchezPVD) is the right Council President for this moment.
Some council president intrigue for your Friday morning
Jill Davidson, Miguel Sanchez and Shelley Peterson have formed an alliance in leadership discussions. Not yet clear which one of them might come forward as the president candidate
