Rick Barrette – A Local Leader, Business Owner, and Community Advocate
Born and raised in Warwick, Rhode Island, Rick Barrette is a proud small business owner and founder of Barrette Fabrication dba Ocean State Off Road. Since 2015, Rick has built his business on honesty, hard work, and a commitment to doing right by his customers. What began as helping friends in local clubs has grown into a thriving company that supports multiple families and has earned a reputation for quality and integrity.
Rick is deeply rooted in the community, serving in organizations such as the Ocean State Jeepsters, and the Cessna 150-152 Club—where he has held leadership roles including secretary, vice president, and president.
He believes in the natural rights of all people, protected by both the Rhode Island and U.S. Constitutions. Rick also values mental health and the importance of hobbies that keep people grounded in today’s fast-paced, social media-driven world. His passions include responsible off-roading, aviation, design, fabrication, and exploration.
Though not a career politician, Rick is deeply frustrated with the direction of our state and is ready to step up, take responsibility, and fight for real change. He believes Rhode Islanders deserve better—and together, we can make it happen.
