Veronicka Vega for
State Representative
Veronicka is a first-generation college graduate from a working-class family, and a nonprofit professional in community development who has seen firsthand how housing instability and poverty affect families. She is running for State Representative to help make life better for the Woonsocket community she calls home.
A working-class voice. A community advocate. A neighbor who cares.
Veronicka Vega has called Woonsocket home for nearly half her life. Raised by a single mother who worked two jobs to support their family, she understands the challenges working families face and the importance of strong community support. As a first-generation college graduate with a degree in public health, she has built her career in community development and dedicated her time to organizations serving Rhode Island communities.
She's running for State Representative to make housing more attainable, healthcare and childcare more accessible, public schools stronger, and life more affordable for working families. She'll bring her community's needs with her to the State House, fighting for the neighbors, friends, and families who call Woonsocket and North Smithfield home.
