What is Pedro DeSouza running for?

Race
U.S. Representative (Rhode Island, District 1)

Pedro DeSouza is running for Congress to give regular Rhode Islanders a voice again. He is not a career politician. He has worked in restaurants, built a small business, and worked his way into a data career after COVID. He understands what it means to work hard, pay bills, and watch Washington ignore the people carrying this country. He is running to make life more affordable, hold government accountable, protect personal liberty, and put regular people back at the center of our politics.
