Incumbent Mayor

Jorge Elorza
Democratic

The 2022 Providence, Rhode Island mayoral election will be held on November 8, 2022.

Since Providence limits mayors to two consecutive terms,^[26] incumbent mayor Jorge Elorza, a Democrat, is term-limited and thus, cannot run for re-election to a 3rd consecutive term in office.^[27]

Democratic primary[]

The field for the Democratic nomination is anticipated to be very crowded.^[28] This is, in part, attributable to the fact that a majority of the Providence City Council will be term-limited out in 2022, freeing up a lot of city council members to run for mayor.^[29]

The following individuals have officially launched a campaign for mayor:

Gonzalo Cuervo, former deputy secretary of state and former chief of staff to Secretary of State of Rhode Island Nellie Gorbea^[30]^[31]^[32]
