Cicilline issued the following statement in honor of long-serving Boston Mayor Tom Menino, who passed away today after battling cancer: “Mayor Tom Menino was an outstanding Mayor of the City of Boston, a city he deeply loved, for more than 20 years. He was a wonderful friend and a generous mentor to me, particularly in my early days as Mayor. I was proud to be part of the organizing group of Mayor's Against Illegal Guns, when Tom first formed this organization with Mayor Bloomberg. He is recognized as one of America's greatest Mayors. He loved his city and served the people of Boston with passion and a deep commitment to improving the lives of the residents he served. His passing is a great loss for Boston and the entire nation, and my sincerest sympathies are with his wife Angela, his entire family and the people of Boston. As Mayor, Tom believed strongly that the key to a prosperous country was creating healthy, vibrant cities, and Boston now bears his legacy as a shining example of that leadership. His strong work ethic, legendary commitment to public service and his visionary leadership made him one of America’s greatest mayors. Rest in peace, my friend.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
