Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- No official 2026 general-election candidate list could be read, so nobody carries a running status. The Rhode Island Department of State's elections portal (vote.sos.ri.gov), the Board of Elections (elections.ri.gov) and governor.ri.gov all serve a Cloudflare managed challenge, even for robots.txt. www.sos.ri.gov itself answers (no robots.txt, 404) but has no candidate pages; its elections content lives on the blocked vote.sos.ri.gov. The Providence Board of Canvassers pages sit on www.providenceri.gov, which began serving a Sucuri JavaScript challenge after the first two requests. No challenge was run, and no other User-Agent or tool was tried.
- Press-reported 2026 primary outcomes, for the coordinator to verify against the official list once it is reachable. NOT used for any status. Per NHPR/CT Public (2026-09-10), State Rep. David Morales (House District 7) beat Mayor Brett Smiley in the Democratic mayoral primary, and Helena Foulkes beat Governor Daniel McKee in the Democratic gubernatorial primary. GoLocalProv reports that the Board of Elections certified the primary after a recount in Ward 9 (Juan Pichardo) and a reread in Ward 4 (Justin Roias). Rhode Island Current reports that Council President Rachel Miller is not seeking re-election. If these hold, Smiley, McKee and Miller are 'elected' but not running.
- City election: Providence elects its Mayor and all 15 ward councillors on the 2026-11-03 general-election ballot (the city votes in gubernatorial years). The press-reported primary results above confirm the cycle, but no official city or state page confirming it could be read. The next municipal general election after this one is November 2030.
- Municipal: the 15-member City Council roster (council.providenceri.gov) could not be read because of a Sucuri JavaScript challenge, so only the Mayor and the Council President are recorded. Both are named on the City's home page, read on 2026-10-22 before the block. RI.gov's Providence town page (https://www.ri.gov/towns/view/providence/) confirms the 'Fifteen member City Council headed by Mayor' but gives no names. Providence has no other city-wide elected office (the City Controller is appointed). The Providence open-data portal (data.providenceri.gov) has no council roster dataset.
- Districts: city hall's coordinates come from the Census geocoder: 41.824269,-71.412652. It lies in RI-2, Senate District 6 and House District 2. From the General Assembly's own spreadsheets, 'City/Town Represented' lists Providence for Senate districts 1-7, 15 and 28 (9 districts) and House districts 1-14 (14 districts). Only city hall's two legislators are recorded as people. RI-1 (Amo) and RI-2 (Magaziner) both cover part of the city, so both are listed.
- Sources and terms. house.gov: robots allows /representatives; Terms say government works are not copyright protected. Senators come from the CC0 @unitedstates legislators-current.json, because senate.gov answered an Akamai 403 even to robots.txt. rilegislature.gov: robots disallows only testimony PDFs, and the senators.xls and representatives.xlsx on webserver.rilegislature.gov (no robots.txt) are linked from its member pages; no terms page was found. RI.gov: robots disallows only /opengovernment/browse; its Copyright Policy says compiled information 'may be distributed or copied' with credit requested. providenceri.gov: robots disallows /*?* and /page/ (not used); its Privacy Policy asserts copyright over content. geocoding.geo.census.gov: no robots.txt (404).
- Not recorded: photos (house.gov's directory has none; rilegislature.gov states no photo terms; the City is blocked), standsFor (no candidate statements could be read), school committee (skipped per the brief). No home addresses, phones or personal emails; the legislators' emails are official @rilegislature.gov addresses. The Governor's party is null because no reachable official page prints it.
