“I took over representing District 28 in the State Senate when Elizabeth was elected lieutenant governor in 2006, so we have both represented this community we care deeply about. She fought for her district as a state senator, and she's brought that same level of dedication and advocacy to statewide issues in her role as lieutenant governor."

“In my work with the arts community, I've found Liz to be a tireless advocate who understands the value of the arts and creative sector in Rhode Island. Her leadership in small business growth and health care issues is critical to the creative sector and the health of Rhode Island's economy and quality of life.”

Michael Masi Sr.,
former employee of the Colibri Group, which shut its doors in 2009

“Lt. Governor Roberts and her staff worked hard to close the COBRA [insurance subsidy] loophole for the Colibri workers. It means a great deal to us—it helped a lot of people out. Your number one priority is your health, and who’s going to take care of you if you don't have health insurance?”

“I support Elizabeth Roberts because she is authentic and honest. She is clear about her positions, which come from a strong, unwavering sense of the issues and the people they affect. She doesn't tell you what you want to hear. She tells you what she thinks."

"Throughout her career in public service, Lt. Governor Roberts has been a true health care advocate. Elizabeth recognizes the importance and the challenge of ensuring access to quality health care services for all Rhode Islanders, while also controlling health care costs. As lieutenant governor, Elizabeth has been a thoughtful and effective leader in convening diverse stakeholders to address these challenges."
