McKee faces a challenge from Helena Buonanno Foulkes as campaign spending nearly doubles and bridge criticism shapes the race, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee faces a competitive Democratic primary challenge as he seeks a second full term amid scrutiny over bridge reconstruction and contract oversight.
- Challenger Helena Buonanno Foulkes, a former CVS executive, has maintained a polling lead throughout the year while her campaign fundraising has almost doubled that of McKee's.
- Campaign ads have highlighted a 2024 joint investigation by Attorney General Peter Neronha and state police that found McKee 'personally and directly intervened' in a multimillion-dollar state contract despite no legal violation.
- In the Republican primary, state trade association executive Aaron Guckian faces former actress Elaine Pelino for the nomination as the party attempts to break a 20-year streak without a Republican governor.
- Election officials across 39 jurisdictions will manage the primary, where independent voters may participate, and the Associated Press will declare winners once no scenario allows a trailing candidate to close the gap.
