CRANSTON, R.I. (AP) - Rhode Island Republicans will hold their statewide convention to pick a slate of endorsed candidates for high-profile races such as governor and U.S. Congress.
The convention being held Wednesday in Cranston features national GOP Chairman Michael Steele as a guest speaker.
Among the more interesting decisions facing party members is whom to endorse for lieutenant governor.
Independent Bob Healey is making his fourth run for lieutenant governor on a platform of eliminating the office, and he's seeking the Republican endorsement. The party's nominating committee has recommended endorsing another candidate, Heidi Rogers, who has adopted Healey's now-familiar platform.
In the governor's race, the committee has recommended John Robitaille get the endorsement over Victor Moffitt.
