South Kingstown Town Council Member Jay G. Wegimont

---

Things are rapidly changing in our town of South Kingstown, and I know that governing well takes the involvement of all kinds of people. Our Town Council needs people like us—those who live here full-time, work here, and raise families here—people willing to roll up their sleeves and keep South Kingstown moving forward.

Our families and neighbors deserve to have 21st-century schools, strong small businesses, and local leaders who love and understand this town. I’m proud to serve on the South Kingstown Town Council, working with my colleagues and our community to address the needs of our residents. I know that together, we can deliver for South Kingstown.

Born and raised in East Matunuck, I have deep roots in this community. From attending Matunuck Elementary and playing Little League at Tuckertown to volunteering as a firefighter in Snug Harbor, being confirmed at Peace Dale Congregational Church, and serving as a lifeguard at East Matunuck State Beach, I’ve always believed in doing my best and giving back to the place that raised me. We are stronger when we work together in a spirit of cooperation.

Over the past year on the Town Council, I’ve worked with my colleagues, staff, and residents to tackle big challenges while staying focused on the everyday needs that make this town special.

I remain committed to:

• Ensuring our new high school is built on time and on budget.
   
• Investing in affordable housing to support our families, seniors, and working people.
   
• Supporting local businesses and nonprofits as we face rising prices and more frequent storms.
   
• Expanding and improving our bike path system through the South Kingstown Access Path Experience (ESKAPE).
   

Serving on the Town Council has reaffirmed my belief that good government is personal. My hometown has given me so much, and giving back through public service is a privilege. I’ll continue to be an accessible and transparent councilmember, meeting regularly with residents across town and focusing on what matters most—our families, our neighborhoods, and our future.
