Here's who's running for office in Newport County

Candidates for local and legislative offices across the state began filing their declarations of candidacies on Monday, the first step in an election process that culminates with a Statewide Primary on September 10 and the general election on November 5.

Some candidates have already announced, although nothing becomes official until they actually file the declaration papers and then accumulate the required number of signatures on their nomination papers that will put them on the ballot.

To officially be declared a candidate, candidates must file a Declaration of Candidacy at their local board of canvassers on June 24, 25, or 26.

What’sUpNewp will continue to update this story throughout the day on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday as candidates file with their board of canvassers and it’s on file with the Rhode Island Department of State.
