My name is Pam Leary, and I’m running to be your State Senator because I care deeply about Johnston, and the people that live and work here. I will advocate tirelessly for our residents and seniors. As your next state senator, I will make sure Johnston gets its fair share and people get a fair shake. Some people say they can deliver for Johnston, I've actually done it.

I have served in critical leadership roles for state and local government since the historic floods of 2010, helping to secure hundreds of millions of federal grant dollars by working closely with leadership and public safety officials.

My experience has given me the skills to balance budgets, find and eliminate wasteful spending, and get the most out of our tax dollars, resources and our workforce.

I will continue to support working people by increasing economic opportunity through good-paying jobs, and common sense workplace protections and benefits like expanding family leave.

Together, we can preserve and improve our open spaces, our parks, playgrounds, riverbanks and waterfronts.

Women's rights, environmental protection and policy, helping young families, increasing services to seniors
Being a voice for people that do not feel 'heard' is a core responsibility that is entrusted to our elected officials. Advocating for our most vulnerable populations and those that cannot speak for themselves is my primary focus.
Struggling to find the financial means to raise a family has always been a struggle.
