Good Morning,
🍁 While results are unofficial and we are still expecting numbers to possibly change with the addition of any remaining drop box ballots, any still uncounted mail ballots, provisional ballots, and/or deficient mail ballots, we certainly have a clearer picture in most races and on most questions on what the final results will be.
Here’s a rundown of what you need to know;
Congressional Races - Cicilline and Magaziner win.
Statewide Local Races - Democrat clean sweep here - Mckee, Matos, Amore, Neronha, and Diossa win.
Statewide Questions - All are approved.
Newport County Senate Districts - Ujifusa (11), DiPalma (12), and Euer (13) win.
Newport County Representative Districts - McGaw (71) wins. Cortvriend (72), Abney (73), Finkelman (74), Carson (75) all unopposed/win.
