For a decade Rhode Island’s state politics were dominated by two men, Bruce Sundlun and Buddy Cianci. Cianci had been elected governor in 1978, defeating popular incumbent Joseph Garrahy off of his successes as mayor dealing with the great storm of 1978. Cianci, a known populist, and his Lt. Governor Arlene Violet, spent the next four years attacking political opponents and going after corruption, notably defeating Bruce Sundlun, who was pushed by Mo Udall to run for governor, in 1980. However, Sundlun would return to the gubernatorial scene in 1982, defeating Cianci as a part of a midterm landslide by Democrats. While the race between Cianci and Sundlun had been somewhat civil in 1980, largely due to Cianci’s popularity and feelings that he didn’t really need to campaign to beat Sundlun, the 1982 campaign was notoriously dirty, with Sundlun accusing Cianci of corrupt activities, something Cianci attacked as “anti-Italian”, which was ironic, as Cianci accused Sundlun of “collaborating with the mob-backed Democratic machine”. Cianci arguably only lost because of opponents declaring that he “played up anti-Semitic stereotypes'' against the Jewish Sundlun, which apparently wasn’t enough for a landslide victory for Sundlun, as he only lost by 3%. Strangely enough, Cianci’s Lt. Governor, Republican Arlene Violet, won the Lt. Gubernatorial race easily. However, in 1984 Cianci was able to return to the gubernatorial mansion, largely thanks to increased Republican turnout due to both Republican presidential candidate []’s surprising victory in the state, a competitive senate race, and the full Republican takeover of the state’s house delegation, when Arlene Violet defeated Fernand St. Germain, who was under investigation for possible corruption. Still, Cianci’s final term as governor was controversial, due to his many feuds with the state Republican Party and state legislature, leading Sundlun and the state Democrats to sweep the 1986 elections on a platform of “running the state right”. Cianci decided against another run in 1988, deciding instead to run for senate, a race he would win even as Sundlun won re-election with nearly 70% of the vote.

After 1990, Bruce Sundlun announced his retirement, as despite his popularity, he had grown tired of politics, and was even more tired of the movement of the national Democratic Party, which he felt had grown too conservative under president [], who he had considered challenging in 1988, but instead stayed home for re-election. Sundlun was asked to run for various offices by liberal Rhode Island Democrats as the state party continued to move to the right, but he stayed retired until his death in 2011. The state broke the Cianci-Sundlun duopoly, as Walter Freed defeated “Proud Catholic” Patrick Deneen. Deneen’s running mate, David Carlin, was able to win his race for Lt. Governor, bringing in a new era for the state Democratic Party. Freed served the first four year term in state history, following a state constitutional convention. However, Freed was defeated in 1994, as Democrats, despite having no national representation in Rhode Island, saw their “Christian Democratic” campaign succeed on a mass scale on the state level, as Raymond Gallison won a narrow victory. Strangely enough Freed received the endorsement from many liberal Democrats, including Bruce Sundlun, and the race saw the first representation of the “Cool Moose” Party in Rhode Island, which won a surprising 15% of the vote as a protest vote against both parties, particularly in liberal circles of the state. The party was led by former Independent candidate for governor, attorney, and DJ Robert Healey, who had created the Cool Moose Party in a race for delegate to the 1991 Rhode Island Constitutional Convention. The Cool Moose Party received surprising amounts of attention in the race, with Healey and three others winning seats, allowing the party to leapfrog to several legislative victories in 1992, and a strong performance in 1994.

While Gallison’s victory was seen as a large accomplishment for the Democratic Party in Rhode Island, with many calling him a “rising star” in the Democratic Party, his term was cut short by a corruption investigation in the state, which caught not only Gallison, but also senator Buddy Cianci, representative Edward DiPrete, and a large multitude of mayors and state legislators. Gallison’s subsequent resignation (and imprisonment), led to David Carlin being inaugurated as governor. Carlin’s term was incredibly controversial, as despite being a popular Lt. Governor, his full beliefs were shown on a statewide stage. The first case of this was his attempt at nominating a Lt. Governor, when he tried to nominate Aaron Wiesman, a known “hardcore conservative” for Lt. Governor, which was blocked by a coalition of liberal Democrats and Republicans aligning with every Cool Moose member of the legislature and the only Libertarian member. He replaced Wieseman with yet another surprisingly conservative choice, Karen McBeth, who passed the legislature narrowly. Despite Carlin only serving a year and a half in office, he vetoed more bills than any governor in state history, even famously declaring a proposed bill to make Rhode Island the first state to legalize homosexual marriage as “vehemently anti-Catholic”. Still, Carlin won renomination narrowly, leading to many Democrats creating “Independent Democratic” associations. The most notable of which was “Independent Democrats for Healey”, which was pushed as both the Democrats and Republicans nominated conservative candidates. Healey, who had seen momentum rise after 1994, ran his strongest campaign in 1998, running against the “corruption in both parties”, and “for the personal liberty of Rhode Islanders”. He was backed by many liberal Democrats and Republicans, and even by the state Libertarian Party. With this, Healey pulled off a shockingly large victory, winning 45% of the vote in what many claimed was a “referendum” on the states’ corruption. Along with Healey came the victory of Independent prosecutor Robert Corrente, who ran in a four way race against the Democrats, Republicans, and the Bull Moose candidate. Both Corrente and Healey promised “harsh anti-corruption measures” in the state, and time would tell if they’d succeed.
