Rhode Island’s Big Kahuna Acquires an Opponent
Big news yesterday as Steve Frias (R-Cranston) announces that he will run against House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello (D-Cranston) to represent House District 15.
Republican Steven Frias hopes to ride a wave of dissatisfaction with Rhode Island’s status quo to unseat House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello, often referred to the most powerful elected official in the state.
Interestingly, GoLocalProv refers to Frias, who resides in Cranston, as a “Boston Lawyer”, the only news outlet to do so.
