Paul Roselli, one of the leading opponents of the proposed Invenergy power plant, today announced on GoLocal LIVE that he will primary Gina Raimondo in the Democratic primary in September of 2018.
"I am running for Governor -- Raimondo has ignored 'ordinary citizens,'" said Roselli.
Raimondo is expected to seek reelection in 2018 for Governor.
About Roselli
Roselli is a graduate of LaSalle Academy and earned two degrees from the University of Rhode Island. Professionally, he is a documentary maker and involved in environmental education.
Roselli stands in stark contrast to Raimondo — he being a populist, progressive, and Raimondo often tied to Wall Street interests due to her career as a venture capitalist and her fundraising from New York business interests.
Roselli, who initially filed as an independent, changed to Democrat. "I realized I wanted to be able to face-off against [Raimondo] more," said Roselli. "This is about her taking the Invenergy check out in Chicago."
Request for comment from Raimondo’s campaign was not responded to at a time of publication.
