Congressman David N. Congressman Cicilline serves Rhode Island’s First Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Congressman Cicilline is a leader in Congress on issues of core American values, ensuring equitable access to economic opportunity, sustaining and growing our manufacturing sector, promoting equality for all, protecting the rights of workers, and safeguarding the ability of older Americans to retire with dignity.
Congressman Cicilline is currently leading efforts to combat price gouging and inflation, implement gun safety legislation on the federal level, and pass the first piece of antitrust legislation of the modern era to ensure a fair and competitive online marketplace for startups, consumers, and small businesses. As a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Congressman Cicilline recently visited Ukraine and the Polish-Ukrainian border and is working to ensure that Ukraine has the economic and security support it needs to fight against Putin’s illegal and unwarranted invasion and defend its democracy.
There is a significant housing shortage in Rhode Island and across the country and the Congressman is working hard to ensure that every Rhode Islander has a clean, safe roof over their head. He is dedicated to ensuring local public housing authorities receive the federal funding they need and that every Rhode Islander who needs one has access to housing vouchers and affordable housing options. This also means ensuring affordable housing is accessible to all – regardless of physical ability or disability.
