66% increase in green jobs--good for business

We've proven that you can grow the economy and protect the environment at the same time: We're the only state in America with an off-shore wind farm. We're on track to make our energy system 10 times cleaner by 2020. Since 2014, we've added more than 5,000 green jobs - a 66 percent increase. Let's keep going.

Coordinated marketing effort to promote R.I. tourism

Rhode Island is home to hundreds of miles of gorgeous coastline, renowned restaurants and vineyards, and countless museums and cultural attractions. Together, these industries support thousands of jobs and bring millions into our state. But our tourism industry has even more untapped potential. By investing in a coordinated marketing effort, we can create more than 5,000 new jobs and generate millions in spending and tax revenue. As governor, Gina will:

Develop a highly-targeted, coordinated state-wide marketing and advertising campaign to expose Rhode Island to people around the world and across the country.
Make Rhode Island a world-class culinary destination by improving the branding of our state's thriving food industry.
Improve our state's tourism infrastructure, with new signage on highways, new visitors centers and efforts designed to move tourists to various attractions throughout the state.
