Rhode Island voters favor Democrats in election.
It was a good night for Democrats Tuesday in Rhode Island. In Rhode Island’s 1st Congressional District David Cicilline was able to win a second term against a tough race fought against Republican Brendan Doherty. The former head of the Rhode Island State Police strongly criticized Cicilline during the course of the campaign over his final leadership of the city of Providence when he was mayor for eight before heading to Washington two years ago.

Langevin cited as accomplishments his work to maintain submarine production at Electric Boat and efforts to strengthen job training …

Note: The following is a letter to the editor from Congressman David Cicilline. Some political observers have suggested that Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) and the House Republican caucus demonstrated courage with their most recent budget proposal. I disagree. There is no doubt that we need to restore fiscal responsibility in Washington, D.C. – on this point, nearly all of my Republican and Democratic colleagues agree. We enacted cuts and savings that amount to $900 billion over ten years and agreed to at least $1.2 trillion more over nine years beginning in 2013. Where we disagree is on whether cuts in federal spending need to come at the expense of important investments in our economic growth. The House Republican budget proposal would …

This letter was submitted by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI).
To the editor: In 1972, a progressive New England Democrat, who had already established a reputation for working with Republicans, proposed an ambitious reform of federal education laws to help low-income families afford the cost of a college education. In a presidential election year, and with extensive media attention focused on the use of busing to desegregate schools, his proposal faced an uphill climb before it would become law. Yet, in spite of their differences, Republicans and Democrats in the Senate would work together to pass the Higher Education Act of 1972, a bill that President Nixon later noted was "the key which unlocks [the door to education]" for young Americans. Unfortunately, times have changed. In Washington, the …
