National GOP Official Pays Visit

Sharon Day, the co-chairman of the Republican National Committee, attended a fund-raising reception at the home of Martha and Dale Wallick of Barrington last Friday, March 9.

Many state and local GOP elected officials and party leaders were on hand to welcome her, said Steve Primiano, chairman of the Barrington Republican Town Committee. 

Attendees included the state Republican chairman Mark Zaccaria; state Senators David Bates of Barrington and Dennis Algiere of Westerly; Cranston Mayor Alan Fung, and District 1 Congressional candidate Brendan Doherty. 

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Rhode Island GOP’s efforts to support candidates for the General Assembly in the November elections, said Primiano.

“Day  and her assistant, Michael Valenti, a Rhode Island native, also spent Friday and Saturday in the state meeting with party leaders and attending other fundraising events,” said Primiano. “She urged candidates to focus on the issues that are important to the electorate; including the economy, jobs and deficit reduction.”
