Delivering Results,
Together
For more than five years, Senator Alana DiMario has delivered results for District 36 by working alongside neighbors, advocates, and local leaders to turn community priorities into real legislation. Her focus remains clear: practical solutions that improve quality of life and strengthen Rhode Island’s future. This work is centered on three key priorities:
-
Making Rhode Island more affordable: Raising wages, lowering everyday costs, and expanding access to affordable housing and health care.
-
Supporting families: Strengthening childcare, improving education, and expanding access to primary care.
-
Growing our local economy: Cutting red tape and making it easier for small businesses to succeed.

Jesse Pugh
Former President, Narragansett Town Council
"Senator DiMario is the rare leader who understands the importance of standing up for what she believes is right, while also approaching issues with an open mind. Over the last five years Alana has consistently shown sound judgement on the issues that matter to those who call Narragansett home. From health and human services, environmental issues, the economy, and housing Senator DiMario has displayed leadership, as well a willingness to challenge the status quo when it doesn’t serve the community. Narragansett is stronger with Alana working for us at the State House and I’m proud to once again support her in the upcoming election."
Keith Stover

"I’m supporting Alana because she is so thoughtful and engaged for our town: Block Island has a number of unique challenges in addition to the things all towns are wrestling with, and Alana has taken the time to get to know us and to fight for us."
