My name is Amy Santiago, and I am running for State Representative in District 7.
I wasn’t raised to chase titles or power. I was raised to show up for people. To listen. To do the work. And to leave things better than I found them.
I believe a State Representative's job is to listen – and to fight for what their community is asking for.
And what I hear, over and over, is this:
People are struggling to afford to live here.
People can’t access the healthcare they need.
And too many of our neighbors are being left without stable housing.
No Rhode Islander should be sleeping outside. I support expanding rent stabilization and taking stronger action to bring more housing online across our state. We need to make sure healthcare is not a privilege, but something every family can count on – and that means supporting both patients and the providers who serve them. And we must invest in our schools and our educators so that the next generation has more opportunities than the last.
I don’t have all the answers. But I will always ask the questions, and I will always listen.
What I can promise you is this: I will show up. I will work hard. And I will never forget who I am there to serve.
This campaign isn’t about me. It’s about all of us, and the kind of Rhode Island we believe is possible.
Can you support our shared vision today?
