Rhode Island House Minority Leader, Patricia Morgan today joined the Up-Front radio program on wnri as she formally announced her campaign for Governor. As a Republican candidate, she is likely to face Cranston Mayor Allan Fung and former State Representative Joe Trillo in the GOP primary in September of 2018.
On the Up-Front radio show hosted by Chris Bouley and Roger Bouchard she talked about her focus on helping all Rhode Islanders. She said she is a fiscal conservative and believes the state needs to meet its budget challenges by cutting the state's budget. She says that under Governor Gina Raimondo the cost of state personnel has increased by tens of millions of dollars. I think 44 million dollars to run the Rhode Island State House per year is getting out of hand when our neighbor State New Hampshire with the same population gets by fine on 18 million to run theirs.
In 2016, she "broke the glass ceiling" by becoming the first female to be elected as minority leader in the Rhode Island state House.
A former educator, businesswoman and military spouse, Morgan announced her intention to seek the Republican nomination with a video released to supporters
