“Helena Foulkes’s primary victory is a win for workers and for Rhode Island families,” said Matt Gunnip, President of SEIU Local 580. “We look forward to electing Helena Foulkes in November to forge a new chapter in the relationship between the Governor’s Office and the workers who keep state government running.” “We’re celebrating Helena Foulkes’ primary win! She stood with workers, and now she’s ready to lead with us,” said Lilliam Abreu, a member of Local 580 and employee of the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals. “As the frontline workers serving Rhode Island’s most vulnerable, we need a governor who cares as much as we do. We are eager to work with Foulkes to fill staffing vacancies, retain experienced staff, and strengthen state services so Rhode Islanders receive the dignity and support they deserve.”
