DETAILS: Back in the day, Republican gubernatorial candidate Ashley Kalus was a serious boxer. She even won a Golden Gloves championship in 2001. These days, she trains at a gym in West Warwick. My colleague Ed Fitzpatruck, a political reporter at the Boston Globe's Rhode Island Bureau, dropped by to learn a few moves from Kalus's coach – and to let her take a swing at some policy questions.

Why don’t you look into why she obviously has had her internet history stripped? Multiple search engines find next to NOTHING about her before early 2022. Especially nothing prior to 2020.

No HS photos. No statements from old friends about what a great gal she is. No comments from longtime employees or business partners about her talents. Digging in Newpapers.com it seems she and/or parents lived in scituate, cohasset, and ? Maybe san diego. She’s like a phantom.

I smell a grifter, and that includes her husband, especially after he married her in 2009.

Also, I searched the FEC site for donations by either her or her husband to ANY candidates for federal office back to 2015– I found NOTHING except 2022 donations to Alan Fung.

She worked for Illinois governor Bruce Rauner. Why isn’t she highlighting that? Anything to do with the $1 million fine his campaign was hit with for illegal calls?

“Ashley Kalus, Coalitions Coordinator

Ashley Kalus most recently served as Coalitions Coordinator for Citizens for Rauner, Inc. Before joining Rauner, Ashley spent 5 years directing operations and strategy for a group of medical businesses, as well as leading an early stage medical device company. Prior to that, Ashley worked as a consultant at Accenture. She holds graduate degrees from the London School of Economics and Columbia University in public administration with a focus on economic and security policy.”
