Anthony Giarrusso beat Emil Fachon and Bob Bolton.
Anthony Giarrusso won the Republican primary for the state House Dist. 30 seat with 353 votes Tuesday, Sept. 11. He will face Democrat Mark Schwager and independent Kevin McDonough in the general election Nov. 6. The race featured three candidates. In addition to Giarrusso, Emil Fachon got 232 votes, and Bob Bolton got 178. Democrat Schwager got 452 votes. (Because McDonough is an independent candidate, his name did not appear on the primary ballot.) The House Dist. 30 seat has been held by Rep. Bob Watson, a Republican, since 1992. Watson announced his retirement in June. "It's a great honor for me," said Giarrusso Tuesday night. Going into the general election, Giarrusso said, "we have a very strong network." He said his pro-business …
A total of 1,057 votes were cast in Tuesday's primary.

Bob Bolton, Dean Fachon, and Anthony Giarrusso discuss the EDC, gay marriage, and the role of the minority.
The three Republican candidates for state House District 30 met Thursday for a debate at the Varnum Armory before an estimated 100 people. While there were no deep disagreements, the debate marked the only time voters could size up all three of the candidates whose names will appear on the Sept. 11 primary ballot. Bob Bolton, Dean Fachon, and Anthony Giarrusso are all Republicans running for the seat long held by fellow GOP member Bob Watson, who announced in June he would not seek re-election. The winner of the primary will face Democrat Mark Schwager and independent Kevin J. McDonough. District 30 is made up of East Greenwich and a small portion of West Greenwich. The EG Republican Town Committee sponsored the debate, along with East …
