Jessica de la Cruz is the Republican incumbent running for Rhode Island Senate District 23 in Rhode Island’s 2026 general election. Voting is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026, and the race is currently uncontested.
Candidacy and election
De la Cruz is listed as a Republican candidate for the District 23 seat in the Rhode Island Senate. Her designation as the incumbent means she currently holds the office for which she is running.
The election is part of Rhode Island’s 2026 general election. The date on the election calendar is Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. District 23 voters participating in that election will see the state Senate contest as part of their ballot.
The race is not currently contested. That status describes the field as it now stands; it does not add information about de la Cruz’s background, priorities or plans for another term.
Background
No candidate biography is on file for de la Cruz’s 2026 campaign. Her official profile for this race identifies her by name, party, office, district and incumbent status.
Those details establish that de la Cruz is a Republican, that she is running in Senate District 23 and that she already holds the seat. They do not establish information about her personal history, education, employment outside the Senate or prior public service.
Party affiliation identifies the party under which a candidate is running. It does not, by itself, show where that candidate stands on a particular bill or public issue. Specific positions require a documented statement tied to the candidate.
Policy positions and campaign finance
No documented policy positions are on file for de la Cruz in this race. That means there is no position to list here on state spending, taxes, education, health care or any other issue. Assigning a position based only on her Republican affiliation would go beyond her documented record for the 2026 campaign.
Campaign finance totals also are not on file. There are no figures listed for money raised, money spent or cash on hand. Those three figures measure different parts of campaign activity: receipts coming into a campaign, expenditures made by it and funds remaining at the end of a reporting period.
Without filed totals attached to this candidacy, no dollar amount can be stated for de la Cruz’s 2026 campaign.
What the race record establishes
For voters comparing names and basic ballot information, the record establishes four central facts: de la Cruz is the candidate listed for the race, she is affiliated with the Republican Party, she is the incumbent, and the office is Rhode Island Senate District 23.
It also establishes the election date and the race’s current status. The general election will be held Nov. 3, 2026, and the contest is presently listed as uncontested.
The profile may change as the election process continues. Candidate filings, campaign finance reports and changes to the field can add information before Election Day. Any later policy statements would provide voters with specific positions to consider rather than conclusions drawn from party affiliation alone.
