It is the beginning of a long two years.
Providence City Council President Sabina Matos currently has the biggest war chest for the 2022 race for mayor of Providence, according to state finance reports.
She loaned her campaign $100,000 in the last quarter, a clear signal she is looking to make a concerted run for Mayor in 2022.
However, it was former 2014 Mayoral hopeful Brett Smiley who went on to work for Mayor Jorge Elorza and then Governor Gina Raimondo who notched the biggest fundraising haul of the fourth quarter
Smiley, who started the quarter with no cash on hand, raised over $167,000 from individuals and $3,000 from PACs.
