EngageRI was established last year to help support General Treasurer Gina Raimondo’s efforts to reform the state’s struggling pension system. The group’s PAC later contributed $1,000 each to the campaign accounts of Paiva Weed, House Speaker Gordon Fox, House Majority Leader Nick Mattiello, Senate Majority Leader Dominick Ruggerio, House Finance Chairman Helio Melo and Senate Finance chairman Daniel DaPonte.
