PROVIDENCE, RI — Primary election season is fast approaching in Rhode Island, and there are major, city-shifting elections on the docket in Providence.

The candidates have been making the rounds at forums and debates across the city in the lead-up to the Sept. 13 primary, and two debates are on the calendar for this week as well.
