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. In the 2nd Congressional District James Langevin was able to win a seventh term over Republican Michael Riley. Riley reportedly lent his campaign more than $600,000.

Congressman David Cicilline talks below about fiscal responsibility on the national level.
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.

The Thibault's Christmas and overdue bill payments were saved once Congressman David Cicilline's office helped them receive their much-needed disability claim.
When Tiverton resident Robert Thibault's daughter was born, he took a year off from his computer technician job at Gateway in Cranston and began looking locally for house call jobs he could do.

Soon after, Robert, 50, was diagnosed with degenerative arthritis in both his hips and lower spine. As a result, he’s been out of work entirely since February of this year. His wife Deborah, 51, worked at Travelers Insurance for 25 years but was let go in 2006 for poor performance, not knowing at the time she had multiple sclerosis. After some serious outreach to elected officials, it wasn’t until this …
