Rhode Island’s unique political landscape this midterm season
Today, we take a deeper look at Rhode Island’s political landscape in the run-up to the midterm elections. Rhode Island’s unemployment rate, at 11 percent, is one of the highest in the country. Democrats are fighting to hang on to Patrick Kennedy’s vacated house seat and President Obama has yet to endorse the Democratic candidate for governor, who is locked in a fierce four-way race.
We talk to Buddy Cianci, former mayor of Providence and current host of WPRO’s talk radio program The Buddy Cianci Show.
