Rhode Island State Pioneer: Congressman Gabe Amo’s Inaugural 100 Days

In today's episode, I speak with RI representative and 1st Congressional Districtman Gabe Amo. The conversation marks a reflective time as it is his first 100 days. According to the Brookings Institute … [Franklin D] Roosevelt’s rhetoric and mastery of the new medium of radio were not what made him the president who is remembered for the first 100 days. It was the breathtaking scope of bold and new actions, both legislative and regulatory, that set the bar so high. Ever since, presidents have been evaluated for their performance in the first 100 days Gabriel Felix Kofi Amo is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for Rhode Island's 1st congressional district. He grew up in Pawtucket RI, is a graduate of Wheaton College where he became both a Marshall Scholar, and a Truman scholar. Before running for Congress, Amo worked in the Biden administration as the deputy director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. He has also worked in the Obama administration, on several Democratic political campaigns, and in Rhode Island governor Gina Raimondo's administration.
