In February 2025, North Smithfield held a special election on a $9 million bond to renovate the police station — and only about 1,000 residents voted. Kevin Carrière built an interactive web app to help neighbors understand what the loan would actually cost the town, pulling data directly from official town documents. When he attended the April 6 Town Council meeting, a councilman implied the tool contained errors, but when Kevin pressed for specifics, none came. A councilwoman, by contrast, called it smart, informative, and easy to read. The exchange captures exactly what Kevin is running to change: a town where critical information is buried in PDFs, the website looks decades out of date, and there's no official channel for basic civic updates. When government makes information hard to find, people disengage. Kevin wants to fix that.
