CRANSTON, R.I. — A Rhode Island gubernatorial candidate has brought a campaign volunteer in a chicken suit to challenge a rival to debate.
Republican Patricia Morgan visited Cranston City Hall on Wednesday to personally challenge Mayor Allan Fung to a series of primary debates. She did not go alone. Morgan took “Al the Debate Chicken,” who was a volunteer dressed in a chicken suit.
Morgan has repeatedly faulted Fung for his refusal to participate in the typical pre-primary debates that take place for gubernatorial campaigns.
A spokesman for Fung’s campaign says the candidate has agreed to debate on Woonsocket-based WNRI radio’s The John DePetro Show on Aug. 31. He did not address the appearance of the chicken at the mayor’s office.
