Thank you for visiting the Ward Nine website. Ward Nine represents the neighborhoods of Elmwood and Washington Park . Please view ward/community news below to find out about what's going on in our neighborhood.

As your City Councilman, I am working hard for what we care about most, like making lead paint poisoning one threat our children will never face again. I continue to speak up for our city’s fair share of state aid for education. By working with parents, teachers and students, I have advocated for more state funding for Providence schools. I am a strong advocate of economic development in our neighborhoods, not just downtown. That means working hard for our small businesses that support families, and that are the backbone of our community. I believe that the strength of our neighborhood is our many cultures. That’s why diversity is part of everything I value for my family, my friends and my constituents.

Thank you for taking the time to read this welcome page. I encourage you to call me if you have a problem you've been unable to get resolved by the city.
