Result

State Rep. Thomas E. Noret (D-RI) won reelection to Rhode Island House District 25 in the Nov. 3 general election, running without a Republican opponent. Noret was the only named candidate on the ballot, securing another term representing portions of Coventry and West Warwick. ​

Candidates and platforms

Noret's legislative positions are described in the Rhode Island Voter Guide, a third-party guide, and reflected in official legislative records.

In 2022, Noret introduced House Bill 7946, legislation requiring Rhode Island Housing to collect information about Section 8 Housing Choice vouchers received and used by municipalities, housing authorities and agencies. The legislation also required annual reporting on voucher utilization, administrative fees and housing affordability. The measure became part of the state's housing reform legislation enacted that year.

Noret also voted for the Federal Constitution Defense Act, House Bill 7202, on June 10. The legislation allows people whose federal constitutional rights are violated by individuals acting under federal authority to pursue civil remedies in Rhode Island courts. The House passed the bill 63-9, with three members not voting. The Senate approved it 31-7 on June 11, and Gov. Dan McKee (D-RI) signed it into law June 22.

District and chamber

The race was for Rhode Island House District 25, which includes portions of Coventry and West Warwick. Noret, a Democrat and former police officer, has represented the district since 2019. His reelection continues Democratic control of the seat.

The Rhode Island House of Representatives has 75 seats. Noret's uncontested victory maintains Democratic representation in District 25 without changing its partisan control.

The nationwide state House election tally does not reflect Rhode Island's legislative composition. Those figures cannot be used to calculate the partisan balance of the state's 75-member House.

Money, polling and endorsements

Campaign finance figures compiled from Rhode Island Board of Elections filings through Oct. 26 show Noret raised approximately $59,800, spent $37,900 and reported $80,000 in cash on hand.
