RUN FOR SOMETHING: David Morales for Providence Mayor
David Morales has been fighting for our Providence neighbors for years. As the youngest Latino ever elected to a state legislature, David has been delivering progress for our community, inside and outside of the State House.
David has already made Providence more affordable by banning rental application fees and raising the minimum wage to $17 by 2027. He has shown a commitment to our working families by expanding medical coverage to all children regardless of immigration status and bringing home more funding for our Providence Public Schools. And he’s not afraid to stand up to bad actors who harm our neighbors as he fought to ban the predatory practice of payday lending and lower the costs of prescription drugs.
David understands that legislation alone cannot meet the moment. With Donald Trump back in the White House, David has used his platform to advocate for our immigrant neighbors by spreading awareness about ICE sightings in Providence, and supporting local organizations hosting “Know Your Rights” trainings to help our neighbors protect themselves from Trump’s mass kidnappings. David has stood with workers striking for a fair contract at Butler Hospital, been a forceful advocate to save RIPTA from devastating budget cuts, and has stood up against RI Energy’s proposals to increase utility rates.
Outside of advocacy, David shows up for our community. Whether he’s coaching the “Morales Mets” T-Ball Team at Mt. Pleasant Little League or dressing up as Spider-Man for a storytime at one of our local libraries, everything David does is rooted in his love for Providence.
In 2019, David became the youngest graduate of Brown University’s Master of Public Affairs program. A child of immigrants, he believes that the job of government is to help improve our lives; not target and harm its citizens while serving corporate interests. David is proud to call Providence home and believes in a future where everyone can afford to build a safe, healthy life here for generations to come.
David is proud to not accept any donations from Corporate PACs and corporate interests that have harmed our working families. Instead, he is focused on empowering the working people across Providence and fighting for us at City Hall.
