Many R.I. judicial members donate to Shekarchi

Members of the Rhode Island Judicial Nominating Commission who voted to advance former House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi’s application for a Supreme Court vacancy have collectively donated over $30,000 to his political campaigns, with four members not disclosing these donations during the meeting. Despite consistent campaign contributions since 2012, there are questions about potential conflicts of interest and the independence of these commissioners. Shekarchi, who stepped down as House speaker, has pledged not to use his campaign funds if appointed, amid ongoing ethical debates over the transition from legislative to judicial roles.
