JOHNSTON, RHODE ISLAND (July 21, 2024) – Republican Karin Gorman has announced her candidacy for Rhode Island State Senate in District 25 representing the town of Johnston. Like former President Donald J. Trump, Gorman is running on a common sense platform to bring leadership, competence, and courage to the Rhode Island Senate, as well as advocating for transparency and accountability of our government functions and decisions. Gorman vowed to use her experience of more than 40 years in the certified public accounting field to be a fiscal watchdog of the expenditures of the people’s money.

“We need good government reforms, such as the Office of Inspector General, to oversee waste, fraud, and abuse involving our taxpayer dollars,” Gorman declared. “This year the powers that be decided that Rhode Island does not need one. I strenuously disagree. The Washington Bridge is a complete embarrassment caused by years of lack of leadership, and has negatively impacted the lives of many Rhode Islanders. We have businesses that have still not recovered or have closed their doors, like our beloved ‘original’ Brewed Awakenings, from the unnecessary forced shutdowns for COVID by our state government.

Gorman predicts taxpayers are going to suffer yet another blow due to the cost of building one of the most expensive minor-league soccer stadiums in the country. She said the project will weigh heavily on the wallets of all taxpayers.

“As for the Windsor Avenue section of town, state Democrats have brought the solar farm project back from the dead,” Gorman noted. “I will stand in firm opposition to this project, and I will be your voice loud and clear for the people of Johnston.”

“The taxpayers in Johnston deserve better. We need to have common sense, competent leadership, and the courage to change the status quo at the State House,” Gorman asserted.

Karin Gorman works as a Para-Professional in a Certified Public Accounting firm and has a small business of her own helping many small businesses with their bookkeeping and consulting needs. Karin has been the Director of Rhode Islanders for Immigration Law Enforcement since its founding in 2008, where her activities included testifying at state house hearings against driver’s licenses for illegal aliens and in-state tuition for illegal aliens. Gorman states American citizens and legal residents in need should be the beneficiaries of taxpayer dollars. Gorman has resided in Johnston since 2005 where she lives with her husband, two giant Great Danes and a Chihuahua named Olive. She was an active member of her family-founded Emmanuel Baptist Church, the first Italian Baptist Church in RI, until its closing in February of 2023. She is currently looking for a new church home.

“I will never forget that the seat belongs to the people and that I am placed here to represent them and their best interest,” Gorman concluded.

“I humbly ask for your support and it all starts with your vote on November 5.”
