Fighting for District 23 - Every Day, For Every Family
Vote in the Primary September 9, 2026
A Personal Message from Bill
Dear Neighbor,
​
My name is Bill Muto and I am running to be your State Representative for District 32. I grew up right here in Warwick — in Buttonwoods — and this community has shaped everything about who I am and what I believe in.
​
My parents worked hard to give our family a better life, and they taught me the values I carry into public service every day: family, hard work, integrity, and giving back. My wife Joanne, a teacher at Pilgrim High School, and I chose to raise our children here because we believe in Warwick’s future.
​
I want to hear from you. What are the issues that keep you up at night? What does a better District 32 look like to your family? Together, we can build it.
​
With gratitude,
​
Bill Muto
