City democrats swept all races held in East Providence on election day. With 18 of 18 voting districts reporting, Kamala Harris defeated Donald Trump 11,863 to 8,188.

In Ward One, incumbent Ryan Queenan easily defeated former board member Charles Tsonos 2,679 to 1,440. Queenan campaigned throughout the district and Tsonos was essentially a no-show and wasn’t seen anywhere on election day.
In a closely contested Ward Four School Committee race, incumbent Jessica Beauchaine is fighting back a challenge from former member Chrissy Rossi in a 2,662 to 2,559 tally. There are still absentee ballots to be counted.
