Dan McKee faces tough primary rematch against Helena Foulkes

In Rhode Island, Governor Dan McKee is set for a primary rematch against Helena Foulkes, a former CVS executive, on September 9, 2026. This rematch follows McKee's previous dismissal of Foulkes four years ago. The campaign is overshadowed by public frustration over a delayed bridge repair project in Providence, which has caused significant traffic issues. Foulkes is leveraging her corporate experience against McKee, who is defending his record amid growing dissatisfaction among voters.
