CURRENT SESSION PRIORITY
Judicial Selection Reform
Dawn ran for office because she believes government should work for the people, and that includes our courts. The merit-based judicial selection reforms Rhode Islanders voted for in 1994 have been undermined by insiders. This is not an abstract problem. Every state law we pass to protect our rights is only as strong as the courts that enforce it. With state courts more important than ever in the face of federal overreach, Dawn is pushing to restore genuine merit selection and end the magistrate loophole.
Why now: As the federal administration undermines civil rights, states are stepping up, but without fair, independent courts those protections do not hold. Rhode Island needs judges chosen for qualifications, not connections.

CURRENT SESSION PRIORITY
Clean Energy & Climate
Rhode Island is a national leader in renewable energy, and Dawn is fighting to protect that progress. Energy policy starts at the state level and its critical that we fight to protect progress here at even, especially in the face of attacks from the federal administration. As the lead sponsor of the Act on Climate and a leader who helped ensure passage of legislation to usher in a clean energy future, she knows what's at statke for our coast, our economy, and our future.
Key results: Act on Climate (2021). 100% Renewable Energy Standard by 2033. 600+ MW offshore wind procurement. Energy Storage Systems Act (2024). PFAS limits in water and food packaging.
