Jeanine is a life-long Rhode Islander, and the daughter of middle class parents who were also born and raised in RI. She worked hard to put herself through college and holds a Master of Science degree in Information Systems from Bryant University. She worked for many years in the I.T. field managing financial systems, and saw how the profit motive of large corporations can affect workers.
In 2016, Jeanine was elected to become a delegate to the National Democratic Convention, and later that year she was elected to the RI State Senate to represent Warwick’s District 30 where she introduced legislation for a $15 minimum wage, single-payer healthcare and multiple bills to help protect our environment. She is running to listen to and serve her community. She never takes money from corporate lobbyists and is not afraid to stand up to the establishment in order to do what’s right for her community
