Rep. Alzate elected as co-chair of RIBLIA Caucus
|
STATE HOUSE – Rep. Karen Alzate has been elected as a co-chair of the Rhode Island Black, Latino, Indigenous, Asian-American and Pacific Islander (RIBLIA) Caucus. Sen. Tiara Mack (D-Dist. 6, Providence) is the other co-chair of RIBLIA. Representative Alzate will be replacing Rep. David Morales (D-Dist. 7, Providence), who resigned from his co-chair position at a caucus meeting held yesterday.
“It is very humbling to be elected as a co-chair of the RIBLIA Caucus, and I thank my fellow caucus members for having the confidence in me to lead this important group of legislators. Rhode Island’s community of color is being severely impacted by current federal and state policies, harder than most, and the caucus is ready to help and support those struggling right now during the current legislative session,” said Representative Alzate (D-Dist. 60, Pawtucket, Central Falls).
First elected to the House of Representatives in November 2018, Representative Alzate is the chairwoman of the House Special Legislation Committee, second vice chair of the House Labor Committee, and a member of the House Finance Committee.
