Gubernatorial Candidate Helena Foulkes with Col. Steve O'Donnell Filling In

Can you tell the listeners why you believe that you should be the next governor of the state of Rhode Island?

Well, I wanna be a governor for everyone, and I know from my primary race that Rhode Islanders are ready for change.

Um, they talk to me all the time about how much we could be doing better, and I'll give you a couple examples.

We're 50th in the country in the economy, and yet they're, we're the fifth most expensive place for people to live.

Um, we were last, last year in the country in new housing production on a per capita basis, and we spent a billion dollars on bridges and roads, and yet we have the worst bridges and roads in the country.

So I'm running at some level against the status quo, against the feeling that people have that maybe just government can't work anymore.

And I do wanna be a governor who is gonna be serving everyone in the state, whether people voted for me or did not.

I want them to feel a sense of confidence that we're working for all of you, and we're working to build a great economy, build housing that works for everyone, have our schools work, allow people to have a good-paying job so they can, they can build the life they want here.

Oh.

Thank you.
