RI’s Ray of Hope
NEWPORT RESTAURANT
Your Independent Candidate for RI State Representative in House District 1 • Rhode Island native. Lived in RI virtually my entire life. Worked in Providence for almost 40 years. • Solid family man. Married 33 years to Lucia Mathieu (Pimentel). Raised 2 sons.
Why you should vote for me on November 8 As a State Representative, I shall focus on the issues which the majority of my constituents find most important to RI. Based upon my personal door to door campaigning so far, those issues are: Economic Development & Job Creation, Improving RI’s Public School Education and Ethics Reform. I’ll bring to the General Assembly a unique understanding of how to fix the RI Economy based upon my over 40 years of sophisticated financial experience and expertise as: VP & Controller of Fleet Bank, Senior VP & Controller of Old Stone Bank, CFO (25 years) of Providence Equity Partners with a strong reputation for straightforwardness and high ethical standards. I shall be an Independent first time elected official with none of the political party cronyism and baggage of the incumbents and not be encumbered by the influence of narrowly focused special interest groups.
Since retiring in January 2012, I have focused on: A) Economic development and job creation in RI by fostering and nurturing start up businesses by:
I) Investing my own money through Cherrystone Angel Investors and Ocean State Angel Investors. II) Sitting on the Boards and Investment Committees of The Slater Technology Fund (www.slaterfund.com) and The Business Development Company of RI (www.bdcri.com) III) Being an Advisor and Judge at the Annual RI Business Plan Competition (www.ri-bizplan.com)
