Remembering Susan L. Farmer - A Trailblazer

Susan Farmer, the first woman ever elected to General Office in Rhode Island was a political trailblazer, serving two consecutive terms.  She was also the first Republican to be elected to Secretary of State in 44 years, and forged a path for Rhode Island women for generations to come.  More recently I had the honor of working with Susan as she continued her public service by sitting on the Board of Elections.  It was an honor to work with her, to know her and she will be sadly missed.  My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
