A state senator from Rhode Island is urging the state to pass his COVID-19 vaccine mandate that would double income taxes for those who don't comply.
BURRILLVILLE, R.I. (AP) Republican state Sen. Jessica de la Cruz has ended her bid for Congress just about a month after formally launching her campaign. “While I was encouraged by the strong grassroots support my campaign received, right now, the best place for me to fight for Rhode Islanders is in the state Senate,” she said in a statement late Thursday.
