Why this night matters

Twenty-one days of doors run on what happens in one room

District 41 will be decided by a few thousand votes, and most of them belong to people who don’t vote by party. Reaching those neighbors takes mail, printing, and the kind of October ground operation that costs real money.

This reception is how we pay for it. Everything raised on September 29 goes directly into voter contact between now and Election Day — the mail piece that lands before the mail-ballot deadline, the palm cards handed out at the Art Festival, and the sign inventory for the last three weeks.

If you’ve been meaning to help and haven’t found the moment, this is the moment. Come have a drink, meet Lou and Melissa, and ask him the hard question you’ve been sitting on. He’d rather answer it in person.

Ticket Levels

$50Friend $100Supporter $250Sponsor $500Host $2,000Champion · the legal maximum an individual may give

$2,000 is the ceiling — under R.I. Gen. Laws § 17-25-10.1(a)(1) that is the most any one person may give a Rhode Island candidate across an entire calendar year, and it counts everything you have already given this year. No payment is collected on this website. RSVP below and we’ll take care of it at the door or by check. And if any number here is a stretch, come anyway — a full room matters more to this campaign than a full table.

Can’t make it?

There are three other ways to help that night

Not everyone can get to Cranston on a Tuesday evening, and nobody should feel awkward about that. If you want to be part of this without being in the room: contribute by mail, take a lawn sign, or give Lou two hours on a Saturday morning. All three matter more than a seat at a table.

By submitting this form you’re consenting to be contacted by Friends of Michael Riley by phone, text, or email. An RSVP is not a contribution and no payment is collected on this page.

Contribution rules, plainly stated. Contributions to Friends of Michael Riley are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. The campaign does not accept contributions from business entities. Under R.I. Gen. Laws § 17-25-10.1(a)(1), no one person may contribute more than $2,000 to a candidate within a calendar year, and a campaign may not accept more than that from any one person. The cap is on the aggregate, so every contribution you have made to this campaign during 2026 counts toward it. Business entity contributions are prohibited outright by § 17-25-10.1(h)(1), which is why we do not accept them. Contributors at or above the reporting threshold must provide occupation and employer. If you have a question about any of this, call the campaign at 401-647-6990 and we will get you a straight answer rather than a guess.
