Gina Raimondo is Considering Another Run for Governor of Rhode Island

Former Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo — a Democrat who is facing the end of her tenure as U.S. Commerce secretary due to Donald Trump’s victory last week — is considering making another run for governor, The Public’s Radio has learned from multiple sources.

Speculation on Raimondo’s future has centered on the possibility of her taking a high-level corporate job or possibly a university presidency.

But according to a source familiar with her thinking, Raimondo, 53, has examined the constitutionality of making a third run for governor and is considering it with the idea that an elective position could help propel her back into national politics. Another source confirmed that a run for governor is among Raimondo’s possible future options.
