Providence resident Rey Alberto Herrera has announced he is running for Governor in Rhode Island.
He is a stark contrast to the politicians like Dan McKee, Seth Magaziner, Nellie Gorbea, and Matt Brown who have spent much of their careers in government.
And Herrera is the polar opposite of corporate executive Helena Foulkes who has an estimated net worth of $100 million -- he is homeless.
“I’m currently a homeless man of Providence,” said Herrera.
But don't discount him, he has big ideas.
While he may not have an Ivy League pedigree, his platform may be attractive to some Rhode Islanders.
What he wants? To improve the state's public education system -- and a Rhode Island-focused cannabis economy.
