Joe Powers, raised on the east side of Cranston, was born December 10, 1970 into a family of 7 children and two amazing parents, Jim and Mary Powers. They were very hardworking and dedicated parents who taught him the difference between right and wrong, to work hard and to never give up. For that, he will be forever grateful.  

After graduating from Bishop Hendricken High School in 1989, he went on to enlist and serve in the United States Coast Guard for 4 years.  He was involved in Law Enforcement, Drug Interdiction and Border Security. Early in his service with the Coast Guard, he was tasked to serve on Law Enforcement Boarding Teams, as well as a Small Boat Coxswain.
He was responsible for transporting boarding teams to conduct boarding operations, potential drug smuggling operations, border security and many search and rescue missions.

After being Honorably Discharged from the military, he attended Rhode Island College where he studied Communications/Journalism intending on a career in Broadcasting. He quickly found himself in the corporate world where he excelled and was promoted into leadership roles in each of the 3 companies that he represented over the past 20 years.

Joe is a small business owner in the world of real estate as a Licensed REALTOR, General Contractor, and Investor. He has always had an interest in our state’s political climate. Now our fellow friends and neighbors have asked him to step up and use his leadership skills to help give Rhode Island the course correction it so badly needs.

Rhode Island needs a New VOICE, New VISION, & New DIRECTION!
TOGETHER, let’s make the changes that RHODE ISLAND deserve
