Silvia faces Farris for state rep seat. Meet the candidates
For the first time in his political career, state Rep. Alan Silvia is facing a Republican challenger for his Fall River state House seat. Talos “Doc” Farris, the director of Veteran's Services for the city of Fall River, is running to represent the district as a Republican. Silvia narrowly beat current Fall River School Committee member Kevin Aguiar in a Democratic Party primary for the 7th Bristol District in 2012. He has run unopposed in every primary and general election since then. The 7th Bristol district is entirely within the city of Fall River. It includes most of the city south of Interstate 195 — excluding some neighborhoods around Route 24 — and a chunk of downtown north of the interstate. The Massachusetts House of Representatives is the state legislature’s lower chamber. It has 160 members, who are elected to two-year terms. The state general election is on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. The Herald News interviewed Silvia and Farris for this story. Make yourself heard: How to cast your ballot early in Greater Fall River Silvia: Longtime representative proud of breaks with party leadership Who he is: Born and raised in Fall River, Alan Silvia served with the Marine Corps

Woonsocket has cut its unsheltered homeless population by about 85% since 2023, city officials announced, with local accounts describing a drop from nearly 120 people without a safe place to sleep to just a dozen as of the last verifiable count in May. The news comes alongside a sobering counterpoint: roughly half of the city's renters are still cost-burdened, and officials say the underlying affordability crisis that drives homelessness in Woonsocket is far from solved.
