Cicilline (D-RI) issued the following statement today: “I want to thank the people of Rhode Island’s First Congressional District – Republicans, Democrats, and Independents – for placing their trust in me to continue serving in the U.S. House of Representatives. I promise to honor this vote of confidence by continuing to work hard every day on the issues most important to Rhode Islanders.” “In this election, the American people have spoken, and Donald Trump will serve as our next President. This is not the result most Rhode Islanders wanted, not the result I wanted, but it is the result of our democracy in action. Now it is time for us to do what we have always done at the end of a spirited, vigorous debate about the future of our country – come together, work together, and find real solutions for the challenges facing families across our state and across our nation.” “While I will work with our next president, make no mistake about it, I will never stop fighting for the values Rhode Islanders believe in – the inherent dignity of every person and equality and justice for all Americans. I will continue to fight for Rhode Island's priorities; creating good paying jobs, ensuring incomes that can support a family, affordable higher education, real retirement security, true environmental stewardship, comprehensive protections for LGBT Americans, fixing our broken immigration system, and ending to gun violence.” “If the history our nation teaches us anything, it is that there is nothing we cannot do when we come together as one. We have seen enough partisanship, enough gridlock, enough division in Washington. Now is a time for unity and common purpose. The people of our state deserve nothing less.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
