Gabe Amo

In the 2024 House race for RI-1, Gabe Amo (D) won with 63.0% of the vote, defeating Allen R. Waters (R) who received 32.0%. 2 additional candidates split the remaining vote. Gabe Amo's 31.0-point advantage over the runner-up confirmed a comfortable win.

This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — David N. Cicilline (D) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. The 2024 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket. The wide margin suggests this district is firmly in the Democrat column for the foreseeable future.
