Morgan out raised Fung for the quarter
House Minority Leader Patricia Morgan raised $95,000 for the quarter and slightly out raised Cranston Mayor Allan Fung. He has substantially more cash on hand — he raised $94,363 for the quarter and now has $229,650 cash on hand. Morgan has $90,968 on hand.
Joe Trillo, former State Representative and top Trump man in Rhode Island has $130,565 — most of those dollars came from his $100,000 loan to his campaign.
“The support from hardworking Rhode Islanders for my campaign has been both humbling and encouraging. With their confidence, we’re going to build a winning team that has the resources to become the Republican nominee and take on Governor Raimondo’s insider-funded campaign so that Rhode Islanders have the brighter future they deserve,” said Morgan.
