WASHINGTON — After seven terms in Congress and a rise into the ranks of Democratic leadership, David Cicilline is calling it quits.
Cicilline announced in a press release Tuesday that he would leave Congress effective June 1 to lead the Rhode Island Foundation as its president and CEO.
“For more than a decade, the people of Rhode Island entrusted me with a sacred duty to represent them in Congress, and it is a responsibility I put my heart and soul into every day to make life better for the residents and families of our state,” Cicilline said. “The chance to lead the Rhode Island Foundation was unexpected, but it is an extraordinary opportunity to have an even more direct and meaningful impact on the lives of residents of our state.”
