Rhode Island is located in the Southern region of the USA with Atlanta as its capital.   Daniel McKee (D) is Governor.

The Rhode Island legislature has 38 Senate members and 75 House members.

The US onAir Network will be working with volunteers from Rhode Island universities, colleges, and nonprofit organizations to oversee the curation and moderation of posts, aircasts (online discussions), and in person events for the Rhode Island onAir Hub …  related to federal, state, and local elections and government.

Our first outreach will be to University of Rhode Island partly because of its proximity to the state capital. We have identified many of University of Rhode Island ’s civic engagement, academic, internship and research programs related to making democracy and civic responsibility a focus of higher learning on their campus … for students, faculty, staff, and local community. This post, over time, will have similar information on other collaborating organizations in the state.

Rhode Island officially the State of Rhode Island, is a state in the New England region of the United States. It is the smallest U.S. state by area and the seventh-least populous (1,098,163 according to the 2020 census), but it is also the second-most densely populated behind New Jersey.

The state takes its name from Rhode Island; however, most of the state is on the mainland. The state has land borders with Connecticut to the west, Massachusetts to the north and east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south via Rhode Island Sound and Block Island Sound. It also shares a small maritime border with New York. Providence is the state capital and most populous city in Rhode Island.
