The Leaguer (Providence newsletter) is happy to be back with you during these trying times.

“In this time of COVID-19, it is so important that Rhode Island voters have a distinct and singular on-line space for election information,” said Jane Koster, President of LWVRI. “I encourage Rhode Islanders to visit www.VOTE411.org where they will find answers to questions by candidates regarding issues that are important to Rhode Islanders.”

Ask Susan Wells, president of the League of Women Voters of Newport County, what the country would be like if women had never been given the right to vote and she pauses: “I can’t even imagine,” she says.
