On the 7th of November in 2007 Caprio who was the candidate endorsed by the Democratic Party, was elected the General Treasurer for Rhode Island, receiving 73 percent of the vote. Caprio won by a bigger margin than any other candidate running to a state-wide office that was contested for the Rhode Island ballot in 2006.

Caprio’s approach to assessing and managing risk has helped ensure that the public funds managed by his office avoid the investment losses now plaguing other states. During Caprio’s term the Rhode Island State Pension fund outperformed the States of Massachusetts and California State Pension funds as well as the Harvard endowment. In the midst of the 2008 market collapse, Caprio established a financial “SWAT team” of Rhode Island’s top financial minds to ensure the State’s protection from AIG’s collapse.

In 2010, Caprio was the Democratic nominee for the Rhode Island gubernatorial election. He ran on the platform of advancing small business. After learning that President Barack Obama would not endorse him in the election, Caprio said that Obama could “take his endorsement and really shove it.” The Huffington Post suggested that Obama did not endorse Caprio out of respect for Lincoln Chafee, the Independent nominee who had endorsed Obama in 2008.

Following the two years, Caprio spent the next 12 years as a member of the Rhode Island Senate, where he was the chair of the Senate Finance Committee in 2001-2002. In that post, Caprio saved an annual $5 million affordable housing program from being eliminated by Governor John Lynch in 2001. Then, he proposed and implemented a plan to increase the program from $5 million to $10 million by means of an affordable housing loan. He also was a co-sponsor of legislation to increase the annual bond of $10 million to 50 million in a affordable housing trust fund. This housing plan was ratified by the citizens in the year 2006.
