"I am very pleased to have another solid quarter in fundraising. With the majority of my donations coming from Rhode Islanders, it is clear my message to fix our state's economy is resonating. People are ready for new leadership,” said Fung.

According to the Fung’s campaign, more than 80 percent of the donations were made by Rhode Islanders.
