22 to Watch in RI in 2022: Nicole Renzulli

The dynamic Cranston GOP City Councilor Nicole Renzulli is a throwback Rhode Island Republican.

She is more of a Claudine Schneider, Susan Farmer, or Arlene Violet type. All trailblazers who changed politics in Rhode Island for women.

At a time where progressive/moderate Republicans are hard to find, Renzulli is strong, consistent, and she is not afraid to call balls and strikes.

She recently called out fellow Republican Patricia Morgan for the State Rep.’s comments about her “Black friend.”

But that is not an aberration but an example of consistent leadership by Renzulli.

She has been a voice of science and smart thinking on the pandemic — calling for vaccinations, boosts, and other safety measures like remote meetings.

If the Republicans ever want to be a factor in Rhode Island politics it will be the type of smart politics that Renzulli advocates.

We will be watching her and her next political steps.
