Welcome to the Moderate Party of RI

The Moderate Party of Rhode Island is dedicated to the idea that politicians should serve the best interests of the majority of the State's residents. Those in the moderate middle want their government to provide the basic building blocks for a great quality of life: an economy that provides good jobs, school systems that provide a high quality education for our children, open and ethical government, and the preservation of our environmental assets.

For too long, Rhode Island has suffered politicians who pay more attention to narrow-interest groups, and our general quality of life has suffered as a result.

It is time to start electing honest politicians whose main purpose is to do the right thing for all Rhode Islanders.

Rhode Island's problems are severe but not insurmountable - if we start electing a different kind of politician.

The Moderate Party - The time is now.
