DCCC Statement on Allan Fung

Failed Fung launches another doomed campaign

The Providence Journal once wrote the people of Rhode Island had “dodged a bullet” when they didn’t elect Allan Fung as governor. Now after two gubernatorial losses, Allan Fung is giving Rhode Island voters a third chance to reject him at the ballot box.

Fung, famous for his leadership failures as mayor and as a candidate for ducking media questions and refusing to take policy positions, now enters a 2022 campaign cycle with a more radicalized GOP to align with.

Just as he was in the past, Fung is a Trump supporter and enabler, who would empower and enable a Republican party hell bent on attacking our schools, criminalizing abortion, and violently overthrowing elections.

James Singer, DCCC Spokesperson
“Rhode Island voters have rejected Allan Fung over and over again because they see him for what he is: a political coward more focused on serving himself than serving them. Rhode Island can’t afford Fung and the Republican agenda to raise taxes, attack Medicare & Social Security, and strip away health care protections.”
