Emily Cherniack, Founder and Executive Director of New Politics said: “As a proud Rhode Islander, veteran, and educator, Walter has made his life’s work building bridges between leaders in our government and defending our country and communities from military threats and climate change. We’re proud to endorse this brilliant, forward thinking servant leader who puts the needs of others and our country first, and I can’t wait to see the impact he makes when he gets to Washington.”
“I am grateful to have the endorsement of New Politics. Throughout my 17-years in public service, I have worked with great leaders from across our military and government, and learn by their example,” said Berbrick. “The most important lessons I’ve learned are the simple ones: Always listen, be honest, and work hard. I will continue to follow these principles in Congress to represent the people of Rhode Island’s 1st district.”
