Republican enters race for Ruggerio's Senate seat
NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — A Republican has announced that he's running in the special election for the late Senate President Dominick Ruggerio's Senate seat. Alex Asermely filed the necessary paperwork to run Friday, which was the last day candidates were able to do so. 'I was born and raised in the Fruit Hill area of North Providence, where I have watched the devastating effects of our economy crush families and small business owners not just in our community but across Rhode Island,' Asermely said in his announcement. 'We have watched our infrastructure crumble before our eyes due to a lack of oversight and accountability.' 'Lastly, most of us would agree that our children in Rhode Island deserve a better education system,' he continued. Asermely, 39, is a political newcomer. He is an attorney who lives in North Providence. Ruggerio, who died in April after battling cancer and other illnesses, had held the seat since 1985. A primary is scheduled for July 8 and the general election will take place Aug. 5. RELATED: Special election dates set for Ruggerio's Senate seat If he gets enough required signatures to qualify for the ballot, Asermely will be the first Republican to run in Senate District 4, which represents part of North Providence and Providence, since 2008. (Candidates must submit 100 valid signatures to qualify for the ballot). He was recruited by R.I. Young Republicans Chairman Ken Naylor. According to the R.I. Secretary of State's website, the district has over 21,000 active voters as of May, with 45% being registered Democrats, 44% registered unaffiliated and 11% registered Republicans.

SAS Executive and Global Head of MRM Solutions David Asermely Joins ValidMind as Vice President of Global Business Development and Growth Strategy
CARY, N.C. & PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ValidMind, a leading platform for model risk management and AI governance, is pleased to announce the appointment of David Asermely as Vice President, Global Business Development and Growth Strategy. Asermely brings more than two decades of experience in analytics, model risk, and financial services, most recently serving in leadership roles at SAS where he helped shape the firm's Model Risk and AI Governance Solutions for global financial institutions. As the financial services industry embraces artificial intelligence at unprecedented speed, the importance of robust governance frameworks and human-in-the-loop validation to manage associated risks—such as bias, explainability, and regulatory compliance—has never been greater. Asermely's experience in this area will help ValidMind by guiding institutions toward practical, scalable solutions that meet both internal risk mandates and evolving regulatory expectations. Asermely said he has been a long-time admirer of the ValidMind team and mission. 'ValidMind is one of the few organizations I would have left SAS for,' said Asermely. 'Their team is laser-focused on ensuring models are not only high-performing but also fully understood and appropriately governed. The company's nimbleness and depth in AI risk management make this a particularly exciting time to join.' A former educator and product leader at BNY Mellon, Asermely brings a deeply human perspective to the world of risk, shaped in part by his experience during the global financial crisis. 'I saw firsthand how analytics done poorly—or incompletely—can lead to devastating consequences for real people,' said Asermely. 'That experience fundamentally reshaped my career and led me to focus on ensuring risk is managed thoughtfully, transparently, and with purpose. That's what makes joining ValidMind so meaningful.' As part of his role, Asermely will lead go-to-market strategy, strengthen strategic customer partnerships, and help scale ValidMind's offerings at a time when demand for GenAI and AI governance solutions is growing rapidly. 'David brings a rare combination of technical depth, market insight, and heart,' said Jonas Jacobi, CEO and Co-Founder of ValidMind. 'His perspective on the human impact of risk and his ability to translate complexity into clarity make him a powerful addition to our leadership team. We're thrilled to have him on board.' Asermely will be based in Cary, North Carolina.
