I am writing this letter in support of Senator “Lou” DiPalma who is seeking reelection.

Senator DiPalma, as an engineer looks at old problems with a new perspective. He does not accept the status quo, acts with integrity and openness, and listens to the concerns of his constituents. He has demonstrated leadership and understands the needs of both large and small businesses. He is a husband, father and grandfather and understands the importance of an excellent education system and the needs of all in the community. He understands the importance of support for the military by Rhode Island and town of Middletown, and as a longtime resident, over 35 years, he recognizes the beauty of Rhode Island and Middletown and the importance of its preservation.

Senator DiPalma especially gets it and understands the needs of the Disabled in the State of Rhode Island and the need to improve the system. Senator DiPalma also understands the need to develop and enhance, STEAM, Science Technology Engineering Arts and Math, Education programs in our education platform and drill these important lessons down into the middle school and earlier grade levels.

I have the utmost respect for Lou, and I ask that you vote for him on Election Day.
