hard deadlines

Lt. Governor Elizabeth Roberts has decided not to run for Governor, opting instead to seek re-election, she announced on her blog today. While most commentors on her Facebook page supported her decision, a few expressed disappointment that she was not going to be seeking the top spot on the ticket.

In a statement, Robert said, "I’ve spent the past few months exploring a run for governor, and I want to thank all of my supporters and let them know that I will continue to work to turn the page on politics as usual in Rhode Island.”

Roberts pledged to use a second term to continue her work on affordable health care for Rhode Islanders. “I will continue to fight for quality health care for all; a stronger, more diverse Rhode Island economy; and honest, open and effective government," said Roberts. "These have been, and will continue to be, the focus of my public service.”
