State Democratic Organization Fails to Endorse Candidate for Governor
Organization president J. Clement Cicilline said during a meeting of state Democratic city and town committee chairs, the vote between Gina Raimondo and Angel Taveras remained deadlocked after four votes. The group then decided not to endorse a candidate.
The RIADCTC was able to come to a decision on the other elected official races without any ties. Here are the organization's endorsements:
