Rep. Naughton Receives Patrick Lynch Award for Protecting Seniors
“This award is a tremendous honor. I have worked hard throughout my legislative career to be a strong advocate for the elderly and disabled, and introduced many bills on their behalf, many of which have become law. It’s not only gratifying, but overwhelming and humbling to be recognized by the Attorney General’s office for those efforts," said Rep. Naughton.
Naughton introduced legislation that adds wireless telephones to the adaptive telephone equipment loan program that services the needs of person who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, severely speech impaired, or those with neuromuscular impairments.

Justice Awards
Justice Awards are given in recognition of individual and organizational excellence and commitment to justice and the community.
“We have a lot to celebrate in Rhode Island, especially the many people that work and volunteer to make the state a better, safer place. Each of this year’s recipients quietly does great work and gives back to their community, never expecting to be recognized or asking for anything in return. And, that is exactly why they deserved to be honored,” said Attorney General Kilmartin at Wednesday’s ceremony.
Each Justice Award is presented in honor of one of the eight previous attorneys general: Arlene Violet, Richard Israel, Herbert DeSimone, Dennis Roberts, James O’Neil, Jeffrey Pine, Sheldon Whitehouse and Patrick Lynch.
