June 29, 2026 - The race for Pawtucket's highest office is beginning to take shape, and if early developments are any indication, this election could be one of the most competitive mayoral contests the city has seen in years.

Incumbent Mayor Donald Grebien is seeking another term, but unlike previous election cycles, he is facing a challenger who has quickly gained significant momentum. Challenger Adam Greenman recently received the endorsement of the Pawtucket Firefighters IAFF Local 1261, a notable show of support from one of the city's most respected public safety organizations.

Not to be outdone, Mayor Grebien has secured the endorsement of the Pawtucket Democratic City Committee, reinforcing his support within the local Democratic Party as he looks to continue leading the city.

With both candidates earning high profile endorsements early in the campaign, the stage appears to be set for what could become one of Pawtucket's most closely watched elections in recent memory.

As the campaign unfolds, voters can expect discussions on a wide range of issues, including economic development, public safety, city finances, housing, education, and the future direction of Pawtucket.

One thing is certain: this race is far from decided.
