The official Q1 2026 campaign finance filings are due to the Rhode Island Board of Elections on April 30. Until then, this page shows only what the candidates and their spokespersons have said publicly, drawn from local reporting. Each figure is dated and linked to its source.
Cash on hand reported at the close of each quarterly filing period, December 2024 through December 2025. Each point is a publicly disclosed number from a Board of Elections filing as reported by local press. Q1 2026 figures will land at the end of April.
As of the most recent reported numbers, Smiley holds about $14.60 in his campaign account for every $1 Morales has. Morales formally entered the race in September 2025; Smiley has been raising as the incumbent throughout.
Each figure below ties to a public statement or filing. Q1 2026 figures are those given to reporters by campaign spokespersons; official filings will confirm or correct them at the April 30 deadline.
In January 2026, the Morales campaign released figures comparing their Q4 2025 donor geography to Smiley's Q3 2025 donor geography. These are the only published donor-geography numbers for either campaign so far. Importantly, they come from one campaign, not from independent verification of filings.
This site is built on real, sourced, dated public records. The interesting analyses — donor sectors, top contributors, donation-size shape, address-level geography — all require parsing the itemized contribution data that ricampaignfinance.com publishes each quarter. Here is the build queue.
Once parsed from ERTS filings: full lists of every itemized contribution to each campaign, sortable, with self-disclosed employer and occupation as filed. The raw material for everything else.
Aggregating itemized donations by donor-reported employer into sector groupings — real estate, legal, healthcare, education, individual donors, and so on — using a published, transparent methodology.
The shape of each campaign's coalition: how much of each candidate's total comes from sub-$100 donors versus $1,000+ donors. The visual signature of small-dollar vs. large-dollar fundraising.
Donor zip codes plotted on a Providence neighborhood map, with verified percentages from in-Providence, rest-of-RI, and out-of-state donors — replacing the unverified single-source figures in §03.
Every number on this page is real and sourced. Each figure shown links to or quotes a piece of local journalism that reports the underlying campaign finance filing. Where a number comes from one campaign's own statement rather than a parsed filing, that is flagged in the source line.
No mock data, no estimates, no extrapolations. Until the Q1 2026 filings are parsed and verified, the page will show the limited public picture from quarterly reporting and press coverage. Anything more analytical — donor sectors, top contributor lists, address-level geography — is on the build queue in §04.
The data origin. Quarterly itemized contribution data is filed by candidate committees with the Rhode Island Board of Elections through its Electronic Reporting and Tracking System (ERTS), available publicly at ricampaignfinance.com. Reports are filed quarterly. The Q1 2026 reporting period closed March 31; filings are due April 30, 2026.
Update cadence. This page updates within 48 hours of each filing deadline as we parse new public records. A timestamped "updated" date appears at the top of every page.
Editorial stance. We arrange public records so voters can see them. We don't tell anyone what these figures mean.
