The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Rhode Island were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the two U.S. representatives from the state of Rhode Island, one from each of the state's 2 congressional districts. The elections coincided with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections. It followed a primary election on September 13, 2022.
In the leadup to the 2022 redistricting cycle, many analysts believed that Rhode Island would lose its 2nd district and be relegated to at-large status. However, the state managed to keep both its districts. This was credited to an aggressive effort by Rhode Island officials and community leaders to make sure that as many residents completed the 2020 census as possible. Coincidentally, the announcement that Rhode Island would not lose a district was made by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, who previously served as Governor of Rhode Island from 2015 until her resignation in 2021 to become Commerce Secretary. Incumbent U.S. Representatives David Cicilline and Jim Langevin, who would have been forced to run against each other in a Democratic primary if the two districts were merged, both expressed relief at the announcement.
This was the best U.S. House generic ballot for Republicans and the best a Republican candidate has done in a House race in the state since 1992.
Before redistricting, the 1st district encompassed parts of Providence, as well as eastern Rhode Island, including Aquidneck Island and Pawtucket. The incumbent is Democrat David Cicilline, who was re-elected with 70.8% of the vote in 2020.
Before redistricting, the 2nd district also took in parts of Providence, as well as western Rhode Island, including Coventry, Cranston, and Warwick. The incumbent is Democrat Jim Langevin, who was re-elected with 58.2% of the vote in 2020. On January 18, 2022, Langevin announced he would not seek re-election. General Treasurer Seth Magaziner would emerge from a crowded Democratic primary field, while the Republicans would nominate former Cranston mayor Allan Fung, who had previously been the GOP's nominee for Governor in 2014 and 2018.
Despite being the slight favorite in the race, Fung lost in a minor upset to Democratic nominee Seth Magaziner 50% to 47%.
