What We’ve Achieved. Together.
As your state representative, Leo has worked on:
Made Prescription Drugs More Accessible
This law ensures that health insurance plans cannot prohibit pharmacists from offering patients lower-cost prescriptions, and promoting more affordable access to medications, which allows Rhode Islanders to keep more money in their pockets!
Established minimum standard for nursing home care
The Nursing Home Staffing and Quality Care Act establishes a minimum standard of 3.58 hours of resident care per day by Jan. 1, 2022, and 3.81 hours of resident care per day beginning Jan. 1, 2023. A huge for Rhode Island healthcare workers and the families they serve!
The Nation's Most Equitable Cannabis Law
The Rhode Island Cannabis Act legalized, regulated, and taxed adult recreational cannabis use. It enables automatic expungements of past cannabis criminal records, establishes worker-owned cooperatives, and offers social equity licenses to directly impacted resident.
Improved Access & Opportunity to Vote
The Let RI Vote Act, expanded voting access through several provisions including voting by mail without providing an excuse, requiring secure ballot drop boxes, removing the two witnesses' requirements, and more.
Automatic Sealing of Records
Under this law, once a criminal case is dismissed because the person completes a diversion program, those records are automatically sealed rather than requiring a person go through the petition process.
Passed Common Sense Gun Reform
We achieved a major victory for gun safety in Rhode Island by passing 3 key pieces of legislation: banning large capacity magazines, prohibiting the open carry of loaded shotguns and rifles, and raising the minimum age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21. This marks a significant setback for the corporate gun lobby!
Together Leading Rhode Island Toward a Stronger Future
Rhode Island's future depends on leaders who prioritize our prosperity and drive community progress. As your representative, I will continue to fight for you and your families, amplifying our community's voices at the State House to build a stronger, healthier, and more equitable Rhode Island for all.
