This year's filing deadline for candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Rhode Island was June 24, 2026.
The number of candidates running for Rhode Island's two congressional districts this year ties with 2020 for the second-fewest since 2014. Five candidates — two Democrats and three Republicans — are running for the districts. That's 2.5 candidates per district. There were two candidates per district in 2024, four in 2022, 2.5 in 2020, three in 2018, 3.5 in 2016, and three in 2014.
