Political observers and spouses Mark and Ruth Ann Zaccaria recently endorsed Ray McKay for United States Senate. “Ray represents all the best qualities of native Rhode Islanders,”  Ruth Ann said.  “His long tenure as president of the statewide Rhode Island Republican Assembly has made him an acknowledged voice in what’s best for folks who prefer to govern themselves.” Ray McKay served as RIRA president from 2005 to 2014. Mark added, “No one in this race has spent more time honing his position on so wide a range of local and national issues.” Mark listed matters ranging from foreign affairs and military challenges facing America, to rule of law under a Congress that seems unwilling to act and even more unwilling to be specific as to the limits of any legislation it does pass. “One of the greatest dangers facing our republic today is the fact that new legislation is immediately turfed off to unelected bureaucrats, who use it create the labyrinthian regulatory environment in which our eco
