Lopez The source says this Lopez has already raised a few thousand dollars and put together an impressive group of supporters including Fred Lippitt Eileen Slocum Nancy Mayer s former campaign treasurer Joan Gray and Casa Diablo regular John Arcaro son of former Democratic state Senator Harold Arcaro But how do we go from there to this He was a Staff Assistant to the late United States Senator John H Chafee and remained active in Rhode Island politics with support from the late Senator and other Republicans including the late Frederick Lippitt as well as the late Republican National Committeewoman for Rhode Island Eileen Slocum throughout his undergraduate studies at the University of Rhode Island Based on that source we could say something like He received support from Frederick Lippitt as well as the Republican National Committeewoman for Rhode Island Eileen Slocum We should not say the late since they were presumably alive at the time If we want to say more we d need another source to support it BTW since you appear so close to the subject I d advise you to read WP COI
