Kendra Anderson to Challenge Lynch Prata for RI Senate District 31 Seat
“All my life I have fought for the critical issues our society has faced. In the early 70s as a young woman I fought for Roe V Wade, and now as an activist in the fight against climate change which will threaten the health and future of our children. In the Senate, I will continue to fight for issues important to my district and help to make needed changes in our state,” said Anderson.
Anderson will challenge incumbent Erin Lynch Prata.
