Rhode Island Endorsement Recap - Primary 2022

Rhode Island Endorsements

As the state’s only locally owned statewide news organization, GoLocal believes that it is important to offer voters in-depth analyses of the candidates -- from a community-based perspective.

A GoLocal endorsement is that of the ownership of our publication and is completely separate from our news reporting function.

This year, in our first time offering endorsements, we took the extraordinary step of not accepting any political advertising during the primary campaign cycle.

This is a significant financial sacrifice, but we believe that it was important for maintaining the credibility and rigor of our endorsements.

 

Who We Did Not Endorse

We endorsed in competitive races. As there were no contested Republican primaries, we did not endorse. And, the incumbent Democrat Attorney General Peter Neronha does not have a challenger primary.

 

Here's who GoLocal has endorsed in the primaries:

Lastly, we published nearly 70 political profiles of candidates -- those can be found below. Those are the profiles of candidates running for the general offices, mayor, and city council in Providence, as well as candidates for the general assembly -- these include both Democrats, independents, and Republican candidates.
