Following his unsuccessful third run for the District 20 House seat in the General Assembly, Dan Elliott announced this week he will not run for Warwick political office again.
“It has been a pleasure campaigning and getting to know the people of our district one-on-one and taking the time to listen to their concerns,” Elliott said in a release. “I want to thank all the friends of this campaign for their great support and loyalty, and of course everyone in our district who voted for me. This election marks my last run for office in Warwick. It would have been my great honor to serve the city.”
Elliott ran as an independent against incumbent David Bennett. He received 1,898 votes or 37.4 percent of the ballots cast.
Elliott said he hopes another candidate of the younger generation will emerge to run for the seat. “Nothing changes in Rhode Island if nothing changes at the State House,” Elliott said. “Rhode Island desperately needs younger leaders who can bring fresh ideas to the table. Hopefully someone from our district wants to run and they will step forward in 2024.”
