Kara D. Russo, who recently lost the Republican primary for lieutenant governor, filed a legal complaint with the state Board of Elections Monday that seeks to reverse the decision by GOP primary winner Heidi Rogers to drop out of the race to improve the election chances for Robert J. Healey, head of the Cool Moose party.
The board will consider the complaint at a public hearing at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at its offices at 50 Branch Ave., Providence.
“This is about more than just me,” said Russo. “I want the will of the people to be upheld and not subverted. The Republican Party has to run someone in that race. [Rogers] doesn’t have the right to step out of the race.”
