Elizabeth H. Roberts

Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth H. Roberts made history when she was inaugurated as the 68th lieutenant governor of Rhode Island as the first female elected to the position. Prior to taking office, Roberts spent the last thirty years, including five terms in the Rhode Island State Senate, distinguishing herself as one of Rhode Island's most respected advocates for quality, affordable healthcare for every family and has built a statewide reputation for being a tireless leader on health and medical issues. Common Cause named Roberts one of the top two senators in Rhode Island in 2006, giving her the second highest rating in the General Assembly at 91% and an "A" for her reform efforts during the legislative session.
