Attorney General Peter Neronha Endorses Foulkes for Governor

Providence, RI —  Today, Attorney General Peter Neronha endorsed Helena Buonanno Foulkes for Governor of Rhode Island.

“Throughout my career, I have had the honor of serving the people of Rhode Island in courtrooms across our state and in executive leadership roles as your Attorney General and United States Attorney. I know what it takes to lead as a public servant. It is without hesitation when I say that Helena Foulkes has what it takes to be our next Governor,” said Attorney General Neronha. “I am confident that she will fight for Rhode Islanders, which is something I think is critically important for that Office. Much like my role as a prosecutor, Helena is arguing the case for change, and she has my support.”

“Attorney General Neronha has spent his career fighting every day on behalf of Rhode Islanders and I am incredibly honored to have his support in this race,” said Helena. “Peter has been on the frontlines against the Trump administration and has seen firsthand the importance of strong Democratic governors and attorneys general as the last line of defense to protect Rhode Island against reckless federal policies. He understands the leadership this moment demands and I look forward to earning Rhode Islanders’ support in the days and months ahead.”
