NEWPORT, RI – The unofficial results from the Town Clerk indicate former Mayor Harry Winthrop collected the most votes in the race for City Council.

Here are the rest of the results. However, the emergency and mail ballots may change some outcomes, given the fact fewer than 100 votes separates a winner from a loser in one race, and other margins of victory are also slim.
