Kim Ahern holds a modest edge in the Rhode Island Democratic primary for attorney general, an open-seat contest on September 9, 2026, following incumbent Peter Neronha’s term limit. Recent polling from early August shows Ahern at 23% among likely voters with 46% undecided, ahead of Keith Hoffmann by 10 points and with lower support for state representatives Joseph Solomon Jr. and Jason Knight. Ahern’s fundraising lead as the only non-self-funded candidate, recent television ads highlighting her prosecutor experience, and a televised debate have shaped trader views, while Neronha’s endorsement of Hoffmann and differing positions on issues such as Flock cameras and gun measures keep the field competitive. Early voting began August 20, and the fragmented vote plus high undecided share sustain tight probabilities across contenders, with further separation likely to hinge on turnout patterns or additional endorsements before primary day.
