Helena Buonanno Foulkes announced her long-expected second campaign for governor on Tuesday, vowing to make state government perform better for Rhode Islanders and to take a strong stand against President Donald Trump.
“It’s not hard to convince people to love Rhode Island,” Foulkes told a gathering of supporters at Roger Williams Park Casino in Providence.
“With all the incompetence and bureaucracy, it’s going to take five years in the best-case scenario to fix — five years!” Foulkes said.
When she took over the leadership of CVS Pharmacy, Foulkes said she quickly responded to what at the time was the peak of the opioid crisis.
McKee has faced low approval ratings in recent months, he parted ways with his initial campaign manager, and he lags Foulkes in fundraising.
