David is the progressive candidate running with five other Democratic candidates after the incumbent announced his retirement. Progressive support will be needed NOW for this nationally known progressive organizer to build his base to win the primary in the September 13th primary. Congressional District Two has been democratic, so if David wins the primary, he can win in the General Election on November 8th, as long as Progressives get out and vote for him. UPDATE: Unfortunately, David lost his primary.
Matt Brown
Governor, Rhode Island
From Ballotpedia: "Matt Brown (Democratic Party) is running for election for Governor of Rhode Island. He is on the ballot in the Democratic primary on September 13, 2022."
Matt will be facing 4 other Democrats in the September 13th primary, one of which is the incumbent who was appointed after the elected Governor took a position in the Biden administration. Matt is fortunate in that he has name recognition having served as RI Secretary of State 2003 to 2007, and having run for Governor in 2018. Progressives should be planning to support Matt NOW in order that he will have sufficient support in the Primary to win. UPDATE: Unfortunately, Matt lost his primary bid.

If she wins the primary, she will face a Republican and an Independent candidate in the General Election on November 8th. Progressives in RI should be getting out the vote for Cynthia and voting for Cynthia in both the primary election on September 13th and in the General Eletcion on November 8th.
