ICYMI: I'm running for LG because I believe in the promise of R.I. but that promise is fading away because government has failed to adapt to change and people like Trump are pitting us against one another.
It's time for a new generation of leadership with bold ideas. Join us.
Looking for something to do during your lunch break today? Head to the polls!
Alicia has spent her morning in Jamestown and there’s been a great turnout of voters making sure their voices are heard. Don’t forget to cast your ballot before 8:00 PM!
#XaysYourGuy
From attending house parties, to knocking doors, to telling us your priorities for Rhode Island, this campaign has been powered by you.
We’re so grateful for all your support— but the work is not done yet.
Today is the LAST day of early voting before Primary Day tomorrow.
If you haven’t voted yet, please visit vote.ri.gov to make sure your voice is heard.
And remember— Xay’s your guy for Lieutenant Governor! 🗳️
The contrast in this race is clear. While Matos has spent nearly six years holding office and seeking her next political opportunity, I have built a record of taking on powerful interests and producing measurable results for Rhode Islanders.
Always great to join Dan on WPRO. Thanks for having me on!
#RhodeIsland Lt. Governor candidate Xay Khamsyvoravong joined Dan Yorke in studio yesterday to discuss how he plans to engage undecided voters ahead of the election.

A new poll from UNH shows our campaign pulling ahead of the 6-year incumbent.
As undecided voters make up their minds, they increasingly see that we have the record, vision and urgency to deliver real results.

Latest poll makes it clear: Rhode Islanders want change - and as undecided voters make up their minds, they increasingly see Xay as that change.
He has the record, vision and urgency to deliver real results. The 9/9 primary is an opportunity to choose new leadership for RI.
NEW: UNH has just released what may be RI's last public primary poll before Sep 9 - Gov campaign is blasting the data as "absolutely bogus"

New polling conducted by @wpri12 and @EmersonCollege shows us what we know to be true: a majority of RIers are ready for change. We’ve been able to rise so quickly because we’re ready to bring urgency, common sense, and competence to the table and deliver results for RI.

@XayForRI has built the statewide coalition, momentum and record to turn that demand for change into victory on Wednesday, September 9.

After 6yrs in office, @Sabina_Matos has yet to make her case for reelection to a majority of voters. There’s a clear message: Rhode Islanders want a leader who does more than show up–they want someone who delivers results.
Data from the latest 12 News/Emerson College poll shows the Democratic primary races for Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor coming down to the wire. @TedNesi and @TimWhiteRI break down the results: tinyurl.com/3t2cb6za
I’m honored to have the support of Providence Fire Fighters IAFF Local 799.
I’m grateful that this union of over 450 members voted to endorse my campaign, and I’m looking forward to leading with competence to help make government work better for families across the Ocean State.

In new polling conducted by @PellCenter, Rhode Islanders are sending a clear signal: they’re ready for a new generation of leadership.
We’re now in a statistical dead heat with the 6-year incumbent, demonstrating the strong momentum our campaign has gained throughout the summer.
