2022 RI Governor's race: on Welfare & Poverty


Luis-Daniel Munoz: Supports free public clinics; increase affordable housing

In addition to backing the building of free public clinics and other health infrastructure, Mu&?ntilde;oz supports increasing the supply of affordable housing and expanding Raimondo's free community college program. While it's not clear that he has tapped into the R.I. progressive base, Mu&?ntilde;oz is running to the left of the current statewide officeholders. He said he ran as an independent in 2018 to avoid the influence of unnamed party operatives who "were not walking the clear ethical line."

Nellie Gorbea: Fully fund school lunch and breakfast programs

Use state and federal funds to fully fund school lunch and breakfast to children at all publicly funded schools. No child should go hungry. Meals can feed the body, the soul and the mind. Breaking bread with each other has been a long-time strategy for community building.
