ProJo reporter Kate Bramson appointed director of R.I. Senate Policy Office

PROVIDENCE – Kate Bramson, who recently announced her departure from the Providence Journal, has been named Director of the Senate Policy Office by Dominick J. Ruggerio Friday.

“Although many highly qualified individuals applied – and we are grateful to all of them – Kate was exceptional,” said Ruggerio. “My team and I were remarkably impressed with her deep knowledge on a wide range of issues. I have been interviewed by Kate in the past, and I always respected her thorough knowledge of the topic she was covering. My admiration grew through the interview process for this position. She is exceptionally well-versed in many areas, and particularly economic development. Kate offered the kind of analysis and insights that will serve the Senate well as we work to make our state a better place to live and work. She will be joining an outstanding staff in our Senate Policy Office.”
