FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rhode Island Republican Party Unites Behind 2026 Statewide Ticket at State ConventionWARWICK, R.I. — The Rhode Island Republican Party gathered Thursday evening for its 2026 State Convention at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet, where delegates from across the state officially nominated the Party’s candidates for statewide and congressional offices and reaffirmed their commitment to offering Rhode Islanders a new direction in November. The convention nominated the following Republican candidates:
The convention was chaired by Dr. Lisa Daft, whose leadership helped guide delegates through the evening’s proceedings. Convention Secretary William Ricci, Jr. oversaw the official recording of the convention’s business and election results. Delegates also heard an inspiring keynote address from Republican National Committee Co-Chair K.C. Krosbie, who emphasized the importance of unity, grassroots engagement, and presenting Rhode Islanders with a clear vision of accountable government, economic opportunity, public safety, educational excellence, and fiscal responsibility. “The Rhode Island Republican Party leaves this convention energized, united, and ready to compete in every community across the state,” said Rhode Island Republican Party Chairman Allyn Meyers. “Our nominees represent accomplished leaders from a wide range of professional backgrounds who are committed to restoring confidence in state government and putting Rhode Islanders first.” Throughout the evening, delegates celebrated the Party’s role in Rhode Island’s 250th anniversary year while looking ahead to the 2026 general election. Party leaders stressed that the Republican ticket offers practical solutions to lower the cost of living, strengthen the state’s economy, improve education, increase government transparency, and make Rhode Island a more affordable place to live, work, and raise a family. The Rhode Island Republican Party now turns its attention to the general election campaign, with candidates and volunteers preparing to engage voters across the Ocean State in the months ahead. |
RI Republicans on the Move!!
Saturday, April 25th, 2026New Chairman Allyn Meyers on 10 News Conference. He’s laser-focused on building our city and town committees from the ground up, energizing the grassroots, and assembling the strongest team yet for the 2026 Governor’s race. While President Trump and the White House deliver results for working Americans, Rhode Island remains stuck under one-party Democrat failure:
The Washington Bridge disaster and last night’s RT10 continues to crush commutes, businesses, and family budgets a direct result of decades of neglect and incompetence. Enough is enough. Rhode Islanders are done watching our state lag behind while the rest of the country surges forward. 2026 is our year to take Rhode Island back!

KALUS: “HELENA FOULKES’ FAILED CORPORATE LEADERSHIP ISN’T A RÉSUMÉ; IT’S A WARNING”

For Immediate Release Contact: communications@ri.gop September 9, 2025 KALUS: “HELENA FOULKES’ FAILED CORPORATE LEADERSHIP ISN’T A RÉSUMÉ; IT’S A WARNING” Providence, RI – Today, Ashley Kalus, a potential candidate for public office, issued the following statement in response to Helena Foulkes’ announcement of her 2026 gubernatorial candidacy: “Helena Foulkes’ failed corporate leadership isn’t a résumé; it’s a warning. Launching her campaign the day after Rhode Island’s legacy companies announced their departure is the worst kind of political opportunism. An honest leader would admit this isn’t about one person–it’s about a system she profited from and defended.” “She launched her career as a corporate raider at Goldman Sachs, learning how to dismantle companies for profit. Now, she audaciously runs as an ‘outsider’–a stunning fiction for someone who sits on corporate boards and trades on her family name. As a director of the EDC, she privately pushed to pour more taxpayer dollars into the catastrophic 38 Studios failure.” “Her hypocrisy is matched by her record of failure. Under her leadership, CVS paid billions of dollars in opioid fines as families buried their children–while PBMs she pushed made prescriptions more expensive. At Hudson’s Bay, she didn’t just fail–she lit the match that burned a 300-year-old institution to the ground, costing thousands of working families good jobs.” “Her campaign isn’t a bid for leadership; it’s a liquidation sale for the state of Rhode Island. Voters deserve better than another well-connected insider cashing out at our expense.” |

Dear Fellow Rhode Island Republicans,
For more than eighty years, a single political machine has ruled over our great state. They’ve taxed our families, driven out our businesses, and chained our future to their failures. Under their “leadership,” the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution has been reduced to a shadow of its former glory.
There comes a moment in every generation when the time for waiting is over — and the time for standing up must begin.
This is that moment for Rhode Island.
Rhode Island is ready for change. Our people are tired of being sold out. They’re tired of promises made and broken. They’re tired of being treated like subjects, not citizens…
And they are looking for leaders like YOU.
It’s time to stop waiting for someone else to step up. It’s time for YOU to run for local boards and commissions, your town council, your school committee, or even your General Assembly
You don’t have to be a career politician — you just need to love this state enough to fight for it.
Because if not you, then who? If not now, then when?

Let’s Make Rhode Island Wealthy, Safe, Strong, and Great Again!
Together, we will return Rhode Island to the shining example it was always meant to be.
And as President Reagan once reminded us:
“If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, we will be a nation gone under.”
Let’s remember who we are — and let’s rise.
