Christopher Woodley Enters Ward 5 Race

Christopher Woodley, a small business owner and Republican, has launched his campaign for Providence’s open Ward 5 City Council seat after a life-altering motorcycle accident fueled his decision to run. Despite the injury, he’s doubling down on his platform: safer streets, stronger support for the homeless, expanded opportunities for graduates, job growth, and tax relief for small businesses. Running against Democratic rivals, Woodley touts himself as a unifying, bipartisan candidate committed to “all lives matter” and rebuilding Providence from the ground up — while replacing outgoing Councilor Jo-Ann Ryan.
