This looks good for Rhode Island. Our new first lady, Stephanie Chafee, has been involved in public health for her whole career…

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Stephanie Chafee was Rhode Island’s first AIDS research nurse and co-founded the state’s only clinic providing free health services to the needy. Now, the multimillionaire wife of former U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee is taking on a new role: Rhode Island first lady.

We don’t elect candidate’s spouses, but having a first lady with so much experience in health and public service is a good deal for our state.
