PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — A newly registered federal campaign committee has been formed to support Democratic gubernatorial candidate Helena Foulkes. 4RI PAC was registered with the Federal Election Commission last week as a super PAC that can make independent election expenditures. Two people familiar with the group’s plans who were not authorized to discuss it publicly said the organization plans to raise money to support Foulkes. Foulkes, a former CVS Health executive, is a first-time candidate who announced last October she would challenge incumbent Gov. Dan McKee in the Democratic primary. Three other Democrats are also running — Matt Brown, Nellie Gorbea and Luis Daniel Muñoz. The super PAC’s bare-bones website says nothing about Foulkes. “Everyone in the Ocean State deserves a good education, a well-paying job, and elected officials who fight for their best interests,” it says. Let’s do everything to ensure a bright future for the state. Contact us to learn more.” Talia Policelli, who worked for former Gov. Gina Raimondo and is co-founder of a firm along with former Raimondo finance director Kate Ramstad, is listed as the contact for 4RI PAC. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The treasurer of 4RI PAC is listed as Ben Martello, a former advisor to Massachusetts Congresswomen Niki Tsongas and Lori Trahan. He now owns North Side Ventures, a Lowell-based consulting firm whose services include campaign-finance compliance. Martello did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
