Costa also said he wanted a "country that is not just great but is also good."
"One that addresses obvious problems without constantly seeking partisan advantage. Yes, immigration really does need to be both controlled and fair; yes, excessive government spending really does spark inflation, so real budgets require choosing; yes, climate change requires a global solution, an engineering one," Costa said.
Whitehouse, meanwhile, argued he had unfinished business in the Senate.
"I’m leading the fight to clean up the mess at the Supreme Court, which is delivering for the billionaires who paid to capture it while taking away the freedom of women to make their own life decisions and the freedom of kids to be safe in their own schools. I’ve gone toe-to-toe with Big Oil to prevent climate change from completely transforming the map of Rhode Island and to stop price gouging at the gas pump," Whitehouse told WPRI.

McKay, meanwhile, highlighted his military experience in the campaign.
"My extensive military background and professional career uniquely qualify me to represent Rhode Island. I served 11 years in the United States Army, specializing in electronic maintenance for the Pershing Nuclear Missile System in West Germany and training as a computer programmer at Fort Sill and Fort Gordon," McKay told WPRI.
