this guy is a little chihuahua annoyance

Seriously fuck this guy ruined Providence's budget for years as Mayor and was rewarded with a congress seat and continual re-election. Continually failing upwards.

Not true. I’ve known him for years. He works his ass off and is a good person. The problems with Providence’s budget were decades in the making.

Why is this "representation" necessary? No-one ADVOCATES for my relationship..LOL

A glass of water with a (D) next to its name would be sent to congress in RI

If you’re talking about heterosexual relationships, then no duh no one advocates for them. They have been the norm for civilization since it began. It’s the people who are in non-heterosexual relationships that need people to advocate for them because they are minorities in a nation in which many people are attacking their basic freedoms of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

He didn't create Providence's financial issues, but he definitely helped make them worse.

Not minorities now that every relationship has been.made legal.

Only Cicilline could have such an inflated ego that he think’s it would be a good idea to challenge Clyburn. This is how you lose and get put on the “none of my bills ever see the light of day” list.

LGBTQ relationships are still 100% a minority. You should be asking yourself why a loving marriage between 2 consenting adults of similar legal age would be made illegal to begin with.

I don't know why you guys hate him so much. This guy puts in the work. Need to talk to him? He's there. He visits my town what seems like monthly to talk to the voters. He's standing up for us, with us, as it should be.

Rep. Cicilline has officially dropped out of the running for the 4th position leadership role in the Democratic Party Caucus: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/12/01/metro/cicilline-drops-out-running-no-4-house-democratic-leadership-post/

What does legal status have to do with the relative quantity of heterosexual relationships to non-heterosexual relationships. Look up the words “minority” and “majority” to understand my meaning clearer.

He hasn’t done anything for us time for a change. The forefathers never intended for politicians to have a life career.

And lied about them the whole time he was campaigning on his first run.

I dont live in the past. Seriously i always felt sorry 2 people that loved each other had to be ridiculed. However mixed marriages are the norm.

He is a great representative though and did great work on one of TFG's impeachments.

Look at demographic statistics. A quick google search will show you that you are wrong. Among the American population, under 10% identify as LGBT.

I dont understand im sorry. Maybe its my screen name. Lol

Who cares how many any kinds of legal couple identify themselves as? Just weird maybe because im not LGB..i give up i dont even know the initials. Lol

Seems unnecessary to me. Taxpayers money should go to things for the State for everyone not just certain groups of people that label themselves.

I have zero qualms about his record as a rep. He advocates for and represents for the views of his district and the state perfectly fine. When we were looking like it was going to be a loss of a Congressional district, there was zero doubt in my mind that Langevin should have been retiring and not even wasting anyone's time running.

I think even Langevin assumed as much and that probably factored into his retirement.

Well now we have two strong representatives so we are better off.

Because he is a horrendous congressman. I've worked personally with him in DC. I have also worked with his congressional staff. I have not enjoyed my interactions with his team. They are dismissive of constituency visiting DC for appointments and will not give you the time of day. This has been across two trips while lobbying for underserved patient populations from south Providence.

His representation during hearings is passable, but he has for too long been the pet project of Namcy Pelosi and doesnt have much to say for himself.

Cicillini is a loathsome human being.

Never met a camera he didn’t like. Some lawmakers toil in obscurity. Others seek the spotlight to feed their voracious egos. I like Cicilline and vote for him, but he left Providence finances a shambles when he was mayor.. Both his father and brother represented plaintiffs affiliated with in organized crime.

I also think it’s a bit crass for him to have started a restaurant in Providence. Really David, there’s nothing else pressing in Rhode Island that demands your time and attention?

Couldn’t stand him in Providence either he had done nothing but his own thing and following the ear of the pack instead of looking out for us

What does marriage equality have to do with tax dollars?

We pay these people to work he needs to work on things that benefit Rhode Island not LBABCDEFG stuff

Because you don’t talk with him you talk at him. I’ve seen first hand him listening to constituents and then doing whatever tf he wants anyway. He wastes time money and effort on idpol trash meanwhile the state and country is floundering.

There are many issues voted upon and advocated for in the house from both sides that don't benefit states individually. You are either arguing in bad faith or ignorant about how the house of representatives works.

I comment on the bills all the time. Maybe its a personality clash i have with this man.
