Former town councilor Robert Craven has been picked to oppose Republicans State Rep. Larry Ehrhardt and Sharon Gamba in the fall.
The Republican Party will have a Democratic challenger for General Assembly's District 32, representing North Kingstown. The Rhode Island Democratic Party's chairman has picked local lawyer Robert E. Craven to face off against Republicans State Rep. Laurence Ehrhardt (the incumbent) and Sharon Gamba, according to the Providence Journal. Both of the state's Republican and Democratic chairmen had 24 hours following Wednesday's candidates' filing deadline to find candidates for unchallenged seats.

Check out the list of candidates who've filed for North Kingstown seats.
As the 2012 election season heats up, the pool of candidates for North Kingstown's town council and school committee are racking up after last week's filing date.

The school committee's vice chair is seeking a spot on the town council this November.
Another contender is putting his hat in the ring for a seat on the North Kingstown Town Council. Richard Welch, vice chair of the North Kingstown School Committee, is seeking a spot on the town council in the upcoming election. Welch, a Democrat, has served on the NK School Committee since 2008, briefly serving as the committee’s chair until stepping down to serve as vice chair this past year. Welch’s motivation to move from the school side to the town side stems from recent actions by the town council, he said. “There’ve been a number of things that this council has done that are contrary to the better interest of the community,” said Welch, pointing to the “debacle with wind turbines" and other actions. Additionally, Welch sees the …
