How McKee and Foulkes differ on major issues
About this episode
The episode features a comparison of the major issues between incumbent Daniel McKee and challenger Helena Foulkes in the Rhode Island gubernatorial primary.
The biggest race in Rhode Island this election season is the Democratic primary for governor. Incumbent Daniel McKee is facing a rematch with former CVS executive Helena Foulkes, whom he narrowly defeated in the 2022 primary. So, we brought both candidates into the studio separately to explain where they stand on major issues, including the high cost of energy and housing, the proposed millionaires tax, the Washington Bridge crisis, the opioid crisis, and "The Real Housewives of Rhode Island." Then we put their responses together so voters could easily compare and contrast. Tips and ideas? Email us at rinews@globe.com .
