Health care

Candidate position

Health Reform Pioneer: As a founding member of the Great American Health Alliance (GAHA), Vic has been working with the Administration to replace today’s sick care with a system built on transparency, lower costs, choice, and medical freedom.

Taxes, economy, workers, and affordability

Rhode Island is being left behind. Trillions in foreign investment have been promised to the United States. Sadly, our state hasn’t seen a penny. Our current federal delegates have put their needless political hatred above your needs. Vic pledges to work with everyone who will bring jobs and prosperity to Rhode Island. People over politics, bottom line.
