Statement From Zachary Hurwitz

For Immediate Release (August 9, 2022; Narragansett, RI): As part of the nomination process for Governor, Zachary Hurwitz was recently made aware that a person who collected a few signatures on Zachary’s behalf, Owen Lokey of North Kingstown, Rhode Island, was charged with providing and submitting false signatures. It is Hurwitz’s understanding that those signatures were rejected and therefore not included in those that were validated and certified by the Secretary of State. Zachary Hurwitz had no knowledge of Mr. Lokey’s efforts in providing and submitting false signatures, denounces any efforts to subvert the nomination process, and has been cooperating with Investigators. Zach Hurwitz looks forward to continuing his efforts to campaign for RI Governor.
