“I have found him to be an intelligent, dedicated, and fiercely independent man of integrity. He carries no political baggage and is beholden only to the wellbeing of Cranston,” said O’Leary, mayor of the City from 1999-2003.

“Steve Stycos rises above for his commitment to the people of Cranston, his diligence to improving their lives,” he added.

Stycos is in a primary on September 8th, and if victorious he will face the Republican opponent in the November 3rd general election. “The people of the city of Cranston would do themselves a wonderful favor in supporting a man of this character,” Napolitano said. “He will be a wonderful mayor.”

Stycos has also been endorsed by a number of current and former City Councilmembers, including:

● Current Ward 3 Councilperson John Donegan

● Current Ward 2 Councilperson Aniece Germain

● Former City Council President John Lanni

● Former Citywide City Councilperson Sarah Lee

● Former Ward 1 Councilperson Ellen O’Hara
