Your support helps Edward fight for our community. Every contribution makes a difference.
A Johnston native, attorney, and small business founder fighting for you.
Edward Stravato Jr. has lived in the Thornton neighborhood of Johnston for almost his entire life. His father, Edward Sr., served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War and later worked as an engineering technician while volunteering with the Knights of Columbus and the VFW Wanskuk Post. Watching his father's service-related injuries require extensive VA care showed Ed how well-run government programs can make a real difference for people in need.
Ed graduated from Bishop Hendricken High School and worked his way through Providence College, graduating magna cum laude as the first in his family to earn a bachelor's degree. He attended Roger Williams Law School on a full academic scholarship, again graduating magna cum laude.
As an attorney, Ed represented catastrophically injured Rhode Islanders and won one of the first settlements against a publicly traded opiate manufacturer. In 2021, he co-founded Summit Settlement Services, a real estate technology startup that now employs more than 150 people in Rhode Island. He saw firsthand how government bureaucracy can stifle innovation.
Now Ed is running to bring that real-world experience to the General Assembly.
