RI Election Results: Goncalves Declares Victory in Providence Ward 1, Giraldo Win House Seat in CF
Wednesday, March 04, 2020
While presidential politics has led the news cycle on Super Tuesday — two local races are decided.
In a competitive three-ways Democratic primary for the First Ward in Providence, John Goncalves has declared victory in a race over Nick Cicchitelli and Anthony Santurri.
“This election was about more than about me and it's more than about any one individual or one candidate. This election was about the people of Ward 1 and I am looking forward to representing the Ward,” Goncalves said. “More importantly I understand that what is needed most right now is the ability and willingness to build coalitions with other community stakeholders and leaders. I consider both my opponents Santurri and Cicchitelli as community leaders on so many fronts and I am looking forward to working with them as we work to move Ward 1 forward.”
