Businessman Ken Block has announced that he is joining this year's race for governor and he's running as an Independent.
In a social media post, Block says in part that he has decided to run because he can no longer tolerate the "dysfunction, waste, and warped priorities" of the state's government.
Block joins three Democrats and three Republicans in the race including current Democratic Governor Dan McKee.
The statewide primary is September 9th, and the general election is November 3rd.
