Regunberg’s Campaign Fundraising Email Pledges to “Turn New Mexico Blue”
Friday, March 02, 2018
A campaign email from Lt. Governor candidate Aaron Regunberg claims he will not accept any money from the “NRA and gun lobby” and he wants to “turn New Mexico blue” a reference to making New Mexico a Democratic state. UPDATED.
Regunberg hails from Chicago, Illinois and came to Rhode Island to attend Brown University. He is running against incumbent Democratic Lt. Governor Dan McKee in the primary. Jake London from Regunberg's campaign said the error was inadvertent. "We copied over as part of our fundraising software and it did not get caught," he told GoLocal.
Regunberg's campaign said they have sent out and apology -- it is posted below the original email.

How we win elections matters. This campaign we are building together is about empowering Rhode Islanders to be proud of our shared Democratic values.
Dark money from special interest groups corrupts our democracy and often holds back elected officials from taking the bold stances we need on critical issues like universal healthcare, a living wage, climate action and gun violence prevention.
That’s why I’m proud to make a pledge to you. I will not to accept ANY money from the fossil fuel industry or from the NRA and gun lobby in my campaign for Lt. Governor.
The special interests we’re up against have lots of money, but this movement has you.
