The Rhode Island GOP is celebrating a successful election night in Woonsocket Tuesday.
In Woonsocket, Chris Roberts was voted into the school committee, John Ward into city council, and Mayor Leo Fontaine ran unopposed maintaining his seat. In Jamestown, however, Lowell Thomas lost a close bout for school committee by some 41 votes.
Chairman of the Rhode Island Republican Party Ken McKay exclaimed “This was a great night for the RIGOP. The voters of Rhode Island have successfully placed a conservative candidate in 6 of the 7 special elections this year. It just goes to show that our message of lower taxes, smaller government, and a better education for our children is resonating with the voters of Rhode Island.”
