CD1 was competative, but Cicillinne and Gordon Fox gerry mandered CD1 and took large parts of PVD into it to rig it for Cicilinne. Langivan was pissed at the time. 2011- https://www.golocalprov.com/news/cicil

>The latest redistricting map released Monday by the state’s redistricting commission would force more than 100,000 voters to shift congressional districts while moving Burrillville, North Smithfield and Smithfield out of the 1st District. Former Congressional candidate John Loughlin won those three towns by 2,976 votes in 2010 and North Smithfield and Smithfield were, by percentage, his largest victories in the district. > >The key for the former Providence Mayor would be the addition of South Providence, which would make more than 70 percent of the capital city part of the 1st District. Cicilline won Providence in 2010 with 69.2 percent of the 17,681 votes cast in the city.

This is true, and is why last year, CD2 was more competitive than it could have been.
