“Victory! Biden Aide Cruises to Special Congressional Primary Win in Rhode Island”

It was a historic day in Rhode Island on Tuesday as Democrat Marcia Ranglin-Vassell claimed a decisive victory in the special congressional primary. The former Biden-campaign aide won the primary and will now become the first Black woman to represent Rhode Island in the House of Representatives.

Ranglin-Vassell earned nearly 75 percent of the vote, soundly beating out her closest challenger, Chris Young. The landslide victory shows the power of the progressive movement in the small northeastern state.

The election is a major milestone for Rhode Island and a testament to Ranglin-Vassell’s impressive campaign. She earned the backing of many high-profile Democratic officials, including former president Barack Obama, who endorsed her in early July.

Ranglin-Vassell’s victory is significant for other reasons, too. She is an immigrant from Jamaica, making her the first Jamaican-American in the House of Representatives. She is also a long-time public school teacher and a labor union leader.

These experiences demonstrate Ranglin-Vassell’s commitment to working families throughout Rhode Island, a commitment that propelled her to victory in Tuesday’s special election.

Ranglin-Vassell’s win is a tremendous boost to the Democratic Party and progressive causes in Rhode Island. She has made history, and her success is sure to inspire young progressive activists throughout the state.
