From the AngelforProvidence.com web site:

(Feb. 25) - Providence attorney and former Housing Court Judge Angel Taveras announced his candidacy for Mayor of Providence today before a crowd of community leaders and supporters at the former Price-Rite supermarket in the city’s Olneyville neighborhood.

Citing his working class roots in the South Side of Providence and his unlikely journey from Head Start to Harvard via the Providence Public Schools, Taveras referred to his first job at the now-empty supermarket as one of many great opportunities in his life that are beyond the reach of many of the city’s children today.

“Even As We Stand Here Today, even as we face significant challenges, I know that the promise of a brighter future for Providence is within our reach,” said Taveras.

His web site allows people to sign up for text alerts, email updates, and includes Angel's latest tweets .
