Good Morning,
đ 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.
Hereâs 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.
Newport: Khamsyvoravong, Napolitano, Aramli, and Ceglie are the top 4 vote-getters for City Council At- Large. Boatwright, Bolan, Winslow, Flowers, Dring, Leary, Muenter are the top 7 vote-getters on the school committee.
Middletown: Connerton, Welch, Tessier, Rodrigues, Logan, Santos, and Turano are the top 7 vote-getters for Town Council. Heaney, Spengler, and Huet are the top 3 cote-getters for the school committee.
School Regionalization: Middletown approves questions 4 and 5, and Newport rejects question 5. All three questions had to pass for any question to move forward.

Local Cannabis Questions: Newport, Middletown, and Tiverton approve, and Jamestown and Little Compton reject.
These are all unofficial results and are subject to change. Visit WhatâsUpNewp throughout the day for the latest.
Take down your lawn signs and have a great Wednesday,
Ryan
