Rhode Island Senate · District 13
A State Senator
who shows up.
Three terms on the Newport City Council. Now Angela Lima is running to make the State House answer to Newport and Jamestown.
What Angela is fighting for
Issues that matter
to District 13.
Rhode Island deserves leaders who listen, act with compassion, and never forget whom they serve.
Affordable housing
Housing you can actually afford, whether you rent, own, or are trying to buy your first home in Newport or Jamestown.
Healthcare access
Quality care that people can reach and afford, without being routed through four providers to treat one problem.
Strong public schools
Every child in the district with access to a top-flight education, no matter which street they live on.
Lower energy bills
Rhode Island's energy costs have gotten out of hand. Clean, renewable investment that brings bills down instead of up.
Government transparency
A State House that is responsive, available, and accountable, with decisions made in public rather than behind closed doors.
Every voice heard
A community where all residents are represented, including the neighbors whose stories rarely make it to the State House.
Reproductive justice
Reproductive freedom isn't settled by legal rights alone. It's shaped by income, race, location, and whether someone has the support to make a real choice.
Protecting your rights
When rights are challenged, silence is not an option. Defending democracy, reproductive freedom, and voting rights for every Rhode Islander.
Meet Angela
Born here. Raised here. Running for here.
Angela grew up in Rhode Island as a first-generation citizen, and saw both the strength of community and the everyday cost of getting by. She spent six years on the Newport City Council, and now advocates at the State House as Chief of Government Relations for the Women's Fund of Rhode Island.
She also teaches Rhode Islanders how their own state government works. That's the job she wants to keep doing, with a vote attached.
