Muñoz Discusses His Running for RI Governor on GoLocal LIVE
Muñoz, who graduated from Central Falls High School, attended Rhode Island College before getting his doctorate and entering the tech world in health care, spoke to his interest in addressing the education -- and technological challenges -- facing Rhode Island.
He has flagged issues such as "healthcare costs [which] poses great risks to all Rhode Island families. Our healthcare systems are complex, fragmented, and in many cases, inefficient. The payers within this system displace their own risks to patients and providers. We must protect patients and healthcare workers and challenge the intermediary institutions that contribute to rising costs."
Political Mix
Muñoz further complicates a very crowded field. On the Democratic side Gina Raimondo and environmental activist Paul Roselli have declared on the Democratic side. On the GOP side Cranston Mayor Allan Fung and House Minority Leader Patricia Morgan have declared.
Former Republican House member Joe Trillo announced that he will run as an independent.
Many are waiting to see if former RI Governor Lincoln Chafee will make a bid in the Democratic primary.
