Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But this year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
Fung Won’t Protect Rhode Islanders’ Health Care—Again
Yesterday, Mayor Allan Fung confirmed that he would not stand up to protect health care for Rhode Island families. When asked yesterday by WPRI whether he supported the Trump Administration’s moves that would allow insurers to deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions, he refused to comment.
463,000 Rhode Islanders could potentially lose their access to health care under this latest Trump scheme, yet Mayor Fung refuses to speak out on their behalf.
Failing to stand up for Rhode Islanders against the Trump Administration’s dangerous agenda is nothing new for Mayor Fung—he regularly ducks questions and refuses to speak out against his own political allies like President Trump.
“Rhode Island deserves a governor who will stand up and fight back against efforts to take away health care coverage from families who need it. Governor Raimondo will, and Mayor Fung will not,” said DGA Press Secretary Melissa Miller. “Yet again Mayor Fung has put his political allies in the Trump Administration ahead of the wellbeing of Rhode Islanders. He is unfit to lead.”
