PROVIDENCE — The chairman of the Moderate Party has stepped down to run as his party’s first candidate for governor, clearing the way for former U.S. Attorney Robert Corrente to take his place at the helm of the fledgling party.
Kenneth J. Block’s decision to run for governor under the banner of the party he founded came to light in the “notice of organization” he filed with the state Board of Elections on Friday.
Other candidates on the Moderate slate include: East Greenwich School Committee Chairwoman Jean Ann W. Guliano, running for lieutenant governor, and lawyer and former Save The Bay president Christopher Little, of South Kingstown, running for attorney general, party spokeswoman Christine Hunsinger confirmed.
The party will formally announce its slate Sunday at a 2 p.m. kickoff party at the Everyman Bistro, 311 Iron Horse Way, Providence.
