Newport Daily News endorsement

The Newport Daily News, on Saturday Jan 2, announced they were endorsing Jim Seveney in the District 11 race, saying:

"His dedication to the community and experience in dealing with major issues involving the state — including establishing a wastewater management district to address a notice of violation from the state Department of Environmental Management and fighting the state imposed toll on the Sakonnet River Bridge between Portsmouth and Tiverton — make him well-suited to take the next step to state government. He is an even-keeled, thoughtful official who would represent the district well."
