EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — There's a special city council democratic primary on Providence's east side on Tuesday and its become the most expensive council race in the history of the city.

Helen Anthony announced at the beginning of August that she was stepping down from her role on the council to “more fully focus” on her health after she was seriously injured in an ATV accident in June 2023 while on a trip to California.

Since then many candidates announced they are running for the seat.
