Helena Buonanno Foulkes is a lifelong Rhode Islander, wife of 36 years, mother of four and cancer survivor who rose through the ranks of CVS over 25 years to become president of its retail division.
As President of CVS pharmacy, Helena worked to ensure that consumers got the lowest possible prescription drug prices and removed tobacco products from the shelves—even though tobacco brought in $2 billion in revenue—because she believes that protecting people’s health is more important than profits.
Since coming just short in the 2022 race for governor, Helena has been working hard to improve our state, including partnering with the mayor of Central Falls to improve their public schools and combatting homelessness and domestic violence as a board member and volunteer at Rhode Island non-profits. Helena regularly holds community gatherings at people’s homes to hear directly from Rhode Islanders about their concerns.
Helena is a compassionate, experienced and effective leader. Now, she is running for governor to make life better for every Rhode Islander.
Rhode Island has so much potential, but right now we are facing pressure from all sides. We have a state government that is not fixing our biggest challenges, like affordable housing and the Washington Bridge. We spend more per person than surrounding states, and get worse results. Neighboring states are eyeing our companies and our talent and we are failing to position Rhode Island for future success. On top of it all, we have a hostile President in the White House intent on attacking blue states like Rhode Island and slashing funding that our families rely on.
Helena is a successful leader with a demonstrated ability to take decisive action and get results. She will be a governor for everyone, who cares about you and your family and will always do the right thing—regardless of the politics. As governor, Helena will fight back against Donald Trump’s attacks on our state, create more good-paying jobs and make living in Rhode Island more affordable for every single Rhode Islander.
