Former City Administrator Seth Aitken has plans to run for Bristol County district attorney in the 2026 election as the Republican challenger to long-standing incumbent District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III. 

Aitken said he is “in the initial stages of forming my team” in preparation to launch a campaign, “and a formal announcement will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks.”

Quinn has not publicly confirmed a run in next year’s election but a check of the Office of Campaign and Political Finance registry reveals Quinn has $192,231.23 in his campaign fund as of the end of June 2025.
