Your vote matters.

It’s easy to get jaded. To think our problems are too big. To believe the political machine is too powerful to beat.

But staying home gives that machine exactly what it wants.

Rhode Islanders deserve real solutions to real problemsβ€”and a governor who gives them reasons to hope, not more reasons to be angry.

We can fix what’s broken. We can make Rhode Island more affordable. We can make government work for the people who pay for it.

But it starts with you.

VOTE. Get everyone you know to vote. Help me beat the machine.

Please share!!

In a day of endorsements, I secured one from my offspring.

It is with great enthusiasm and conviction we Kendorse Ken Block for Governor of Rhode Island. A true leader requires creativity, fairness, problem-solving, and heart. So does a great dad. As the children of Ken Block, we know he has what it takes.

We trust in Block's ability to create and implement true change in Rhode Island. If our childhood is any benchmark, Block rarely struggles from mental blocks. As elementary schoolers, we were inspired by his ability to tell endless made-up stories about a time-traveling bird. As we grew, we saw Block's creativity applied to the real world too, where he is constantly ideating and inventing. Both as an entrepreneur and political watchdog, we have seen how our dad is not afraid of solutions that don't yet existβ€”he will go out and make them himself.

In this era of hyperpartisan politics, Rhode Island needs a solutions-oriented leaderβ€”not an ideologue. If we may make a warped metaphor, consider us siblings bickering over who is the better driver. Rather than take sides and play into the age-old argument of who best handles the wheel, Block is focused on the real goal: having two kids who are safe, strong drivers. He taught us both with hours behind the wheel and ample patience. While the state of politics is far different from a sibling spat, we can confirm that Block knows the greater good is rarely found on one extreme, but by focusing on what will actually contribute to progress.

[A father’s editorial note: The way I handled the bickering over who was the better driver went down a bit differently than written above. I handled the squabbling by stating that each of them tried hard to tear my garage down with their cars - so they both were β€œimproving” drivers.]

Lastly, we can confirm that Ken Block loves Rhode Island. He may love us and our mom a bit more, but this state is a close second. There is no greater driver of investment in people (or in a place) than a deep sense of caring. We know that when Block loves something, he will go up to bat, tackle hard problems, and push you to continually be a better version of yourself.

Dad, we Kendorse you, we Ken't wait to see where all your hard work takes you, and we hope you enjoy this birthday Kendorsement!
