City GOP City Committee re-elects officers

Posted

The Cranston Republican City Committee has unanimously re-elected its slate of officers for another two-year term.

The committee’s executive board includes Christopher Edward Buonanno, chairman; Hillary V. Costa, vice chairman for operations; Lawrence DiBoni, vice chairman for fundraising; Amy L. Ricci, secretary; Steven Agnoli, treasurer; and Michael Lepizzera, legal counsel.

“I’ve been involved in Cranston’s politics from the womb, and I am thrilled and humbled that my Republican brethren have put their faith in me to lead the party for the next two years,” Buonanno said in a press release. “It is absolutely clear to me that our party is on the correct side of the issues in our wonderful city … I am eager to continue the work with all of the team of executive board members to ensure the right candidates are elected to maintain our financial responsibility, superior schools, and business friendly economic climate.”

“In one of the largest voting turnouts in Rhode Island history for a midterm election amidst a ‘blue wave,’ Cranston Republicans were able to maintain the Republican majority on the City Council and that is due in large part to Chairman Buonanno’s leadership, and the team we have together,” Costa said in the release. “I am thrilled to have played a part in that and I am thrilled to be back.”

“I am glad that Chris Buonanno has been selected for another term as the Cranston Republican chairman,” Mayor Allan Fung, who nominated Buonanno for a second term, said in the release. “He worked hard with our candidates during the last election cycle and the results speak for themselves. Maintaining the majority with five Republican council members ensures fiscal stability, continued business development and a great quality of life for our city. Chris is committed to recruiting more of

Cranston’s next generation to be a part of our team to ensure that our voices will be heard in the city for years to come.”

“We know that with Chairman Buonanno at the helm once again, we will keep the momentum going well into the next decade so that generations of Cranstonians can live, work, and grow their families in a top rated city in America,” City Council President Michael Farina said in the release. “Chairman Buonanno has been effective at bringing the city’s Republicans together to rally around what is best for all residents of Cranston.”

Buonanno, 34, is a 2002 graduate of Cranston High School East and a 2010 graduate of Rhode Island College. He previously served as secretary of the St. Mary’s Feast Society.

He is married to Kristen Buonanno. They have one daughter, Carmella. W/PIC of Buonanno
