“I am honored and humbled that Speaker Mattiello would once again give me this position of trust on the leadership team,” said Representative Casey. “We have a lot of important issues to tackle in the upcoming session, such as the phasing out of the car tax, along with other promising proposals. I look forward to doing my best for the people of Woonsocket and the people of Rhode Island.”
