The election coincided with United States national elections and Rhode Island state elections, including U.S. House, Governor, and Rhode Island Senate.^{[4] [5]} Since the previous election in 2020, Democrats held a 65-to-10-seat supermajority over Republicans. Democrats maintained the supermajority in 2022, winning 65 seats. Republicans decreased to nine seats while Jon D. Brien was the sole Independent elected.^[6]
