AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Mail-voting fight in court: Rhode Island’s AG Nick Brown and a coalition of 25 states won a preliminary injunction blocking USPS from forcing states to redesign ballot envelopes and use a new USPS tracking portal, keeping the changes stalled through the Nov. 3 midterms while the case proceeds. Disaster relief backlash: Gov. Dan McKee blasted FEMA again after the Trump administration denied Rhode Island’s appeal for $19 million tied to the Feb. 2026 blizzard, calling it “a new low” and saying the state met FEMA thresholds. Healthcare workforce funding: Rhode Island secured $1.7 million in federal money to modernize RIDOC transportation and expand correctional job training, plus a separate $5.48 million rural healthcare workforce push for 14 schools and local agencies. Public health alert: Rhode Island rabies cases rose to 34 after two Warwick raccoons tested positive; officials urged pet vaccinations. Local politics: Six R.I. General Assembly primaries are drawing attention next week, including Senate District 8 and 13 matchups. Campus update: URI move-in weekend begins, with 1,400-plus new students arriving ahead of classes starting Wednesday.
