ABOUT KEITH
Keith has served on the front lines in some of the most important fights of our time, standing up for all of us – to protect our rights, our safety, and our future in Rhode Island. With experience serving under two attorneys general, Keith has led significant investigations and cases across the civil and criminal divisions, fought to protect us from wrongdoers, and upheld the rule of law.
Keith’s work in Rhode Island has tackled some of our toughest challenges. He served as counsel to the Rhode Island Police Officers Commission on Standards and Training, launched an expanded statewide police training program on civil rights and hate crimes, advised the state on the allocation of opioid lawsuit settlement funds, fought for children suffering from lead poisoning, worked to secure more than $40 million in funding for primary health care, and successfully defended Rhode Island's landmark gun safety laws. He held corporations accountable for consumer abuses, and worked hand-in-hand with community leaders building coalitions to pass critical public health and safety reforms. And when the Trump Administration broke the law, Keith helped lead the fight to successfully protect our public health, transportation funding, libraries, and other vital public institutions.
Keith’s commitment to public service began early. After law school he served as an Equal Justice Works Fellow sponsored by the law firm Latham & Watkins, and led a team of attorneys at LegalHealth fighting to ensure New York City veterans had access to health care and housing. After Rachel completed her medical training, they returned home to Rhode Island, where Keith began serving in the Attorney General’s office under Attorney General Kilmartin and later Attorney General Neronha.
Keith is running for Attorney General to be the People’s Lawyer – an advocate for all of us in Rhode Island who need someone in our corner. From Day One, he will be ready to fight to make our state stronger, safer, and fairer.
