Candidate Connection

Steven Corvi completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Corvi's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.

Expand all | Collapse all

Dr. Corvi is the son of an Italian immigrant father. He was raised in a working-class household in Malden, MA, where his mother achieved graduate degrees while raising him. His father served in the US Army and USAF. Dr. Corvi graduated in the top quarter of his class at Malden High School. He went on to earn a BA from Framingham State University, an MA from Salem State University, and ultimately a Ph.D. from Northeastern University, becoming a college lecturer at various universities in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Throughout his career, he also worked blue-collar jobs in labor, auto maintenance, retail, and the wine trade. As a lecturer, Dr. Corvi has made ends meet with no benefits, health care, or retirement and on an annual salary of less than $75K. Having taught in Rhode Island for several years, Dr. Corvi was finally able to live his American dream by buying his first house in Warwick. There Dr. Corvi wishes to remain with his family for the rest of his life. He is engaged to Brazilian immigrant Christin Shoshanna Sarri. Dr. Corvi's interests include history, aviation, scuba diving, skiing, film, and cooking. As a congressional candidate, he aspires to be an advocate for working-class Americans.
  • Dr. Corvi’s core agenda aims to establish Merit, Equality, and Transparency (MET) to further assist Rhode Islanders. Merit is the focus on the content of personal character and abilities rather than any political identity. Equality, not equity, where we are all judged by our ability rather than arbitrary identity politics. Transparency is further required in America’s core institutions. Washington lacks honesty, integrity, and transparency.
  • Creating a strong economy is the most important issue for Dr. Corvi. As an average American making less than $75k per year Dr. Corvi understands the needs of people in his district. Washington’s federal spending has been reckless, Dr. Corvi advocates for transparency within Washington to slow down government spending. He will restore fiscal stability and common-sense spending in Washington. Manufacturing and jobs are key to improving the economy within Rhode Island. Dr. Corvi supports Career and Technical Education funding to rebuild the blue-collar Rhode Island workforce. Expanding trade school pathways has direct economic benefits to the local RI community and brings high-paying, blue collar jobs right back to RHODE ISLAND.
  • Healthcare is another key issue facing average Americans. Dr. Corvi is a strong believer that patient’s treatments should be based on the doctors professional opinions, not the insurance companies. Transparency is the answer to many healthcare issues caused by big pharma lobbyists and Dr. Corvi will work for average Rhode Islanders because he is one.
Dr. Corvi’s father was an Italian immigrant and his grandmother was a Canadian immigrant. He understands the struggle of legal immigrants, but he wants to restore order at the Southern Border. Dr. Corvi believes that we should make the path to legal immigration simpler and implement a merit-based immigration system, while also enforcing illegal immigration laws.
Additionally, Dr. Corvi is a college professor who has seen first-hand the impact of rising tuition costs. The accessibility of federal government student loans allows universities to dramatically overspend at the cost of their own students. Dr. Corvi wants to ensure that federal spending going to universities is being used to encourage a merit-based system and to help decrease uni
Listen, learn, act, inform, and show up. Congressmen should listen to voters, understand their needs and problems, create and support policies that deliver on their needs, be transparent and share with voters what is going on, and be present in the district and show up for every vote.
My legacy would be MET: Merit, Equality, and Transparency in America’s core institutions. MET offers an alternative to the radical position of DEI. The MET vision provides a strong moderate alternative to the radical DEI position which has corrupted many institutions. I want to affect real change and work to restore bipartisan spirit and unity in our nation.
