Mayoral elections
2010 2014 2018

Taveras became the first Hispanic mayor of the city and the third elected and fourth serving Dominican-American mayor in the United States.[1]

Incumbent David Cicilline did not seek reelection, instead opting to run in the coinciding election for Rhode Island's 1st congressional district. Cicilline was eligible to seek reelection to a third consecutive term as mayor, as term limits passed in 2006 (which limited mayors to two consecutive terms) would not go into effect until the following year.[2]
