Ray Sullivan

It has been an honor to serve as an advocate for the people of Coventry and West Greenwich in the General Assembly for the last five years. Because I have always valued your friendship and support, I wanted you to hear from me directly that this will be my last year in the House of Representatives, as I will not be seeking a fourth term in office.

I am proud of what we were able to accomplish together over the past five years. In my time in the House, I took on some pretty tough fights - some were won, some were lost - but no matter the outcome, I was always driven by your genuine support and confidence. Together, we worked to increase access to health care and prescription medications for those who couldn't afford it; fought for economic and social justice; spoke up for veterans; and demanded tougher restrictions and penalties for careless polluters. Thanks to your help, we can say we made a real difference.

I have accepted a position as the deputy district director for public policy in the Office of Congressman James Langevin and will begin that job on March 1st. My career in public service began nearly10 years ago as his press secretary during his first run for the United States Congress. I am honored to once again be working for someone who has fought hard to better the lives of those he represents.

Thank you for all your support over the years. Every phone call, text, letter, email and Facebook message have meant the world to me and I'll never forget it.

Thank you,

Ray
