AP Decision Notes: What to Expect in New Hampshire’s State Primary
McKee faces a challenge from Helena Buonanno Foulkes as campaign spending nearly doubles and bridge criticism shapes the race, officials said.
On Wednesday, Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee faces a competitive Democratic primary challenge as he seeks a second full term amid scrutiny over bridge reconstruction and contract oversight.
Challenger Helena Buonanno Foulkes, a former CVS executive, has maintained a polling lead throughout the year while her campaign fundraising has almost doubled that of McKee's.
Campaign ads have highlighted a 2024 joint investigation by Attorney General Peter Neronha and state police that found McKee 'personally and directly intervened' in a multimillion-dollar state contract despite no legal violation.
In the Republican primary, state trade association executive Aaron Guckian faces former actress Elaine Pelino for the nomination as the party attempts to break a 20-year streak without a Republican governor.
Election officials across 39 jurisdictions will manage the primary, where independent voters may participate, and the Associated Press will declare winners once no scenario allows a trailing candidate to close the gap.
