Councilmen Jim Taylor (left) and David Salvatore (right) are squaring off for Majority Leader.
The shakeup of the Providence City Council continues in the wake of the departure of Sabina Matos.
In April, veteran Councilman John Igliozzi was elected as the new City Council President and freshman Councilman Pedro Espinal rose quickly through the ranks to be elected President Pro-Tem.
Councilman Jim Taylor, who represents Ward 8, first landed on the council when he defeated incumbent Wilbur Jennings in the 2018 Democratic primary, is running for the post as is Councilman David Salvatore, who previously had served as Council President and is term-limited.
