He's Got her Back--Literally

Long-distance runner Sue Kent found a clever way to say her choice for the House District 71 seat has everybody's back.

TIVERTON, RI – Sue Kent took the expression "running for office" literally this week when she helped her friend Dennis Carario, in the hunt for the District 71 House seat, with his campaign. Kent isn't the candidate herself, but she sandwiched herself between two campaign signs to show everyone Canario has their backs.

Kent, a long-distance runner, said she's been running all over Tiverton with the signs all week.

"Dennis is a good guy," she said. "He's got my back. He's got everybody's back."
