Just got off the phone with Councilman Cloutier. He confirmed to me this is not a co-endorsement.
He is endorsing just state Sen.
@SANDRISCANO
for CD1 and did not endorse Lt. Gov. Matos.
I'm assuming this is either a co-endorsement or Councilor Cloutier has switched his CD1 endorsement.
He's also listed under 'Rhode Island Leaders' on Lt. Gov. Matos' website on the 'Endorsements' page.
