"Our city faces the fiscal challenge of an underfunded pension system, and the needs of aging infrastructure," she said. "Our families face rising rents, higher property taxes and skyrocketing cost of living. The City Council must advocate for fiscal transparency and long-term sustainability to ensure Providence’s future."

Davidson also said Providence's "schools, finances, and affordability face dire challenges from local obstacles and Trump’s relentless attacks from DC."

"After two decades of advocacy in Providence — bringing together broad coalitions to support our public schools, advance climate resilience and push for responsive government — I’m ready to bring my skills and experience to City Hall," she said.

Attempts to contact Brito were not successful.
