Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, right, shakes hands with audience members at a "town meeting" on homeland security, held today at the Providence Marriott. Much of the audience was made up of local "first responders."

Giuliani, who held office at the time of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, was in town on behalf of fellow Republican Governor Carcieri's re-election campaign.

“We are honored to have Rudy Giuliani in Rhode Island to discuss critical homeland security issues,” Carcieri said in a statement. “Mayor Giuliani obviously has unparalleled experience in protecting America’s homeland. I believe he can impart some important insights to Rhode Island’s first responders and to our citizens.”

Giuliani appeared at a luncheon fundraiser for Governor Carcieri earlier in the day.

Carcieri is battling the Democratic candidate, Lt. Gov. Charles Fogarty, in the contest for the state's top elected official.
