RI-AG: Rep. Jason Knight (D) makes bid for R.I. attorney general official
A squealing microphone kicked off Barrington Democratic State Rep. Jason Knight’s entry into the race for Rhode Island Attorney General Monday night.
The piercing feedback startled Knight’s fellow Democratic Rep. June Speakman. “That was scary,” the Warren lawmaker said before launching into her list of all the reasons why Knight should be the state’s next Attorney General when the office’s current holder, Peter Neronha, finishes his term in 2026.
“He is wicked smart, he is analytical, he is organized,” said Speakman, who has served with Knight in the General Assembly for six years.
Dozens of supporters — including fellow East Bay lawmakers Rep. Susan Donovan and Sen. Walter Felag — attended Knight’s inaugural campaign event at The Guild, a brewery in Warren that is in Speakman’s district, near the Barrington-Warren line. Knight represents parts of both of these East Bay towns. During his remarks to the crowd, the Providence-born Knight gestured several times at the bay visible outside and noted his love of the Ocean State.
