The 2002 Providence, Rhode Island mayoral election was held on November 5, 2002. It saw the election of Democratic nominee David Cicilline in a landslide victory.

Cicilline was openly gay. After Cicilline took office, Providence became largest city in the United States at the time to have had an openly LGBTQ mayor (a distinction which had, beforehand, belonged to Tempe, Arizona since its election of Neil Giuliano).[2][3]

### Democratic primary

The Democratic Party held its primary election on September 10, 2002.[4]

#### Campaigning

[edit]

David Ciciline and Kevin McKenna launched their campaigns prior to the June conviction of incumbent mayor Buddy Cianci, and criticized the disgraced mayor.[4] Paolino and Igliozzi launched their candidacies after Cianci's conviction, and did not openly criticize Cianci.[4] Igliozzi had once worked in the city's solicitor's office during Cianci's mayoralty.[4]

Paloino pledged to revitalize blighted areas of the city by cleaning up their parks and schools, and by increasing community police officers.[4]

Ciciline also advocated for the arts, and proposed making gallery and studio space available to more residents.[4]

While Ciciline was openly gay, Paolino sought to challenge him for support of the city's gay voters.[4]

#### Campaigning

[edit]

It was anticipated that the winner of the Democratic Party primary would be the race's frontrunner in the strongly Democratic city's mayoral race.[4]

The sexuality of Cecilline, vying to become the city's first openly homosexual mayor, was not a prominent issue in the campaign. Some in the gay community even criticized Cecilline, accusing him of downplaying his sexuality in order to appeal more broadly to voters.[3]

#### Polls

[edit]

Throughout the campaign, Cecilline was a strong leader in polls.[3]

Incumbent David Cicilline did not seek reelection, instead opting to run in the coinciding election for Rhode Island's 1st congressional district. Cicilline was eligible to seek reelection to a third consecutive term as mayor, as term limits passed in 2006 (which limited mayors to two consecutive terms) would not go into effect until the following year.[13]

### General election

[edit]

The election pinned Democratic primary winner Jorge Elorza against former mayor Buddy Cianci, who was running as an independent, and Republican Daniel S. Harrop.

Elorza was endorsed by United States President Barack Obama.[18]

On July 14, 2014, businessman Lorne Adrian withdrew his independent candidacy.[19]

Independent candidate Jeffrey E. Lemire failed to get his name on the ballot.[20]

Cianci had previously served as mayor 1975–84 and 1991–2002, each time being ousted due to criminal convictions. A prominent issue was made of his past convictions. Ciacni characterized Elorza as inexperienced, and called a possible return to the mayoralty for a third tenure as a "last rodeo" for himself.[21]
