Nicholas Insana
Candidate for Town Council

I grew up in town, spent my summers as a kid skateboarding and keeping JPD on their toes. Graduated Jamestown Schools class of ’97 and NKHS class of 2001.

I came back home from Boston after college and my wife Heather, and I have been raising our 3 boys on Schooner Ave ever since.

I have been active in the community over the years as a member of the Jamestown Volunteer Fire Department, supporting Troop 1 as my son made his way through to Eagle Scout, and most recently as a member of the Planning Commission working on the rewrite of the Comprehensive Plan. We have seen Jamestown transform over the last 30 years from the sleepy little town we all remember, and I want to help ensure there is a place here for the next generation to enjoy like we did.

I am a 4th generation plumbing and heating contractor serving residential and commercial customers throughout RI. I hold a RI Master Plumber & Master Pipefitter license.

Over 25 years of experience in the building trades gives me unique insights into how we can foster sustainable development in our community, support affordable and workforce housing initiatives, and small businesses.

I began my career with the City of Newport Fire Department in 2014. I would never have had a chance to succeed if not for the excellent training and support I received as a member of the Jamestown Volunteer Fire Department for years prior. Jamestown maintains one of the strongest volunteer FD’s in the country and we as a community need to support our public safety departments to ensure they continue to be in a position to be there when we need them.
