Senator Dawson Hodgson, who now represents South Kingstown and Narragansett, will seek a second term.
State Senator Dawson Hodgson today filed papers with the North Kingstown Board of Canvassers, officially declaring his intention to seek a second term in the Rhode Island Senate. “I am proud of the reputation I have earned as a conscientious and diligent senator who stands up to be counted when it matters most for Rhode Island,” Hodgson said in an announcement e-mailed to constituents. “I have been engaged on nearly substantive issue to come before the legislature during my term, and I am confident that my record accords with the vision of leadership I’ve articulated since I was elected in 2010 – we must have clean, competent government for Rhode Island, and foster an environment that promotes job growth.

Among the bills he's introduced, one would abolish the Caruolo Act. Another would offer merit "bonuses" for some teachers.
Dawson Hodgson, the Republican state senator from North Kingstown, spent his first year in office learning the ropes — “playing defense and being a vocal opponent of bad ideas.” This year, he said, he plans to take a more proactive role, from attempting to abolish the act that gives school committees the right to sue towns to offering $1,000 bonuses to teachers whose students earn AP credits. “I’m attempting to implement more policy changes,” Hodgson said in an recent interview. He’s introduced six what he calls “substantive” bills this session, this despite a bout of pneumonia a month ago that landed him in the hospital for two days. He’s recovered but said he tires more quickly than usual, joking that the Democrats have been enjoying a …
