Rhode Island House of Representatives
(1995–2003)
Elections
He ran for the Rhode Island Senate in 1992 against incumbent
senator Rhoda Perry but lost the Democratic primary. Two
years later, he was elected to the Rhode Island House of
Representatives, representing the 4th district on Providence's
East Side. He won the Democratic primary to succeed retiring Rep. Linda J. Kushner with 56% of the vote and
was unopposed in the general election.[8]

According to his website, he "earned a reputation as a fierce champion of political reform and gun safety, and his
dedication to ethics won him Common Cause's top ranking."[9]
Committee assignments
Mayor of Providence (2003–2011)
Elections
Cicilline was elected in a landslide in November 2002 with 84% of the vote, following the downfall of
controversial mayor Vincent Cianci and the aftermath of Operation Plunder Dome.[10] He succeeded acting
mayor John J. Lombardi, who served out Cianci's term and decided not to run in the following election.[11] In
2006, Cicilline won an easy re-election with 83 percent of the vote.[12] A Brown University survey in September
2007 found that 64 percent of state residents approved of the job Cicilline was doing in Providence. By February
2008, that number had dropped to 51 percent. And in September 2008, his popularity fell to 46 percent.[13]
Accomplishments
Providence has experienced a significant drop in crime, attributed by some to community policing. As of 2007,
Providence saw its lowest crime rate in 30 years. The city has eliminated 14 percent of management positions,
dropped to 17th in the state for per-capita tax and received an "A" bond rating from all three major bond-rating
agencies.[12]

Affiliations
Cicilline was 2008 President of the National Conference of Democratic Mayors. As mayor, he was a member of
the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition,[14] a bi-partisan group with the stated goal of "making the public safer
by getting illegal guns off the streets." The Coalition was co-chaired by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and New
York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
In 2009, Cicilline served as one of six selection committee members for the Rudy Bruner Award for Urban
Excellence.[15]
Mayoral policies
Cicilline's administration focused on the residential neighborhoods of Providence, as well as the "Renaissance"
areas of downtown and Federal Hill that thrived under Cianci, and continued the promotion of the city via the
tax breaks given to artists and movie productions. A former state legislator, he overcame the animosity between
state and city government that had existed under Cianci.
In May 2009, Cicilline gained national headlines after proposing a $150 per semester Head Tax on each of the
25,000 college students attending four universities in the city. The tax was an effort to close $6 to $8 million of a
reported $17 million city budget shortfall. The Associated Press reported that if enacted, it would become the
first-in-the-nation tax on students simply for being enrolled and attending college within the city limits.[16]
Cicilline has expressed concern about the Providence metropolitan area's carbon footprint. As mayor, he sought
to implement a streetcar/light rail-type system for the city. He also focused efforts to fight poverty. He won
passage of a vacant-and-abandoned property penalty, to provide an economic disincentive for banks to keep
properties off the housing market for extended periods of time. He also proposed municipal bonds for the
purpose of buying foreclosed properties to expand housing.[17]
Cicilline is a strong proponent of after-school activities as a means of improving opportunities for children.[18] As
mayor, Cicilline served as Chair of the Standing Committee for Children, Health and Human Services of the
United States Conference of Mayors.[19] He has also been recognized for his efforts to establish youth
programming and to strengthen ties among schools, businesses and local government, in order to expand access
to after-school programming. Under Cicilline, city officials worked with Rhode Island's Education Partnership to
form PASA, the Providence After School Alliance.[18] Cicilline also serves on the board of the national nonprofit
Afterschool Alliance, an organization that works to promote and to support after-school activities for all
children.[20]
Between 1980 and 2009, most prostitution was legal in Rhode Island.[21] As mayor, Cicilline was a strong
advocate for outlawing it.[22] Cicilline personally testified in Superior Court to stop the opening of "spas" in
Providence, and discussed his position in the 2009 documentary Happy Endings?.[22][23] [24] He lobbied for a
prostitution law not only to arrest sex workers and their customers, but also to fine landlords that permitted
prostitution on their premises.[25] On September 2, 2009, Cicilline submitted an ordinance to the City Council to
ban indoor prostitution in the city, imposing a $500 fine and a potential 30-day prison sentence on violators.[26]
On November 3, 2009, Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri signed into law a bill making the buying and
selling of sexual services a crime.[21] (See also: Prostitution in Rhode Island)
During the 2008 Democratic primaries, Cicilline supported Hillary Clinton. In August 2008, he attended the
Democratic National Convention in Denver. While there, he told an interviewer that he now supported Barack
Obama, saying "[t]here is a real sense of hope and optimism about what we're about to do and about a chance in
3 of 11 3/5/2017 6:16 PM

leadership in this country".[27]
ICE controversy with Governor Carcieri
On June 8, 2008, Marco Riz, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who had been arrested twice the previous
year while under a deportation order, was charged with the robbery and rape of a 30-year-old woman.[28] A
federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent criticized the Providence Police Department for not
checking Riz's immigration status at the time of his previous arrest.[29] The governor of Rhode Island, Donald
Carcieri, blamed Cicilline for the department's failure. Previously, Carcieri had signed an executive order
requiring all state officials to work with ICE on arrests or hirings of illegal immigrants. When Carcieri asked the
same of local agents, Providence Police Chief Dean Esserman refused. Cicilline responded that it has been the
policy of the Police Department to work with ICE and its database on all arrests, that the policy had been
followed when Riz was arrested, and that the ICE had failed to act.[29]
On July 8, 2008, Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri claimed that Cicilline was not upholding his oath of
office by failing to report illegal immigrants, suggesting the U.S. Attorney investigate the mayor.[30] Mayor
Cicilline responded by accusing Carcieri of "playing politics", eight days later writing an op-ed in the Providence
Journal stating that the city always has and will continue to report all arrests to immigration authorities, and that
the focus is therefore inappropriate.[31] Carcieri was term-limited and prevented from running for a third term in
2010.
Firefighters' union contract arbitration
Beginning in 2003, Cicilline was engaged in a dispute with the Providence Firefighters labor union, Local 799. In
a July 2002 email Cicilline sent to the members of Local 799, he indicated that he hoped to resolve their pending
contract dispute with the city within 30 days of taking office. In August, Cicilline said in an interview that it was
impossible for him to promise to bring the contract negotiations to a successful conclusion owing to the
unpredictability of his negotiating partners.[32] The city and the union had been in arbitration in every contract
year since 2002, with Cicilline appealing one arbitration decision to the Rhode Island Supreme Court. The appeal
was rejected.[33]
In 2004, Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards canceled a fundraising appearance in Providence
in support of the Local 799.[34] In 2007, Hillary Clinton asked Cicilline, a Clinton supporter, not to attend a
Clinton rally because of threats by the union to picket the appearance.[35][36]
Both the Rhode Island AFL-CIO and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) censured Cicilline for
his conduct in this matter.[37][38] In 2009, due to the union picketline, the Obama administration canceled Joe
Biden's appearance at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Providence in the interests of remaining neutral in the
conflict.[39]
Tax office controversy
In June 2008, John M. Cicilline, brother of Mayor Cicilline, pleaded guilty to conspiracy, obstruction of justice
and making false statements for his role in the courthouse corruption scheme. Federal prosecutors indicted John
Cicilline, disbarred attorney Joseph Bevilacqua, Jr., and two assistants in January 2007. According to court
documents, the two attorneys spun a complicated scheme to win leniency in a drug trafficking case.[40]
Before reporting to prison, John M. Cicilline gave the city of Providence a $75,000 check for taxes owed by a
client, but asked that the check not be cashed and only held as collateral. Two of the mayor's top aides told the
4 of 11 3/5/2017 6:16 PM

city tax collector Robert Ceprano, not to cash the check because it would bounce. In four instances, Ceprano
said mayoral aides pressured him to perform tax favors for the mayor's friends and/or campaign contributors.
The mayor claimed the taxpayers had been given relief because the city had made errors on their taxes—not
because they were his friends or contributors. During the controversy, Ceprano was fired [41]
On May 10, 2009, Robert Ceprano filed a lawsuit against the City of Providence alleging conspiracy, corruption,
libel and wrongful termination. The suit accuses John M. Cicilline, the mayor's imprisoned brother, of attempting
to defraud the City of Providence by writing a bad check for $75,000 on behalf of a delinquent taxpayer.
Furthermore, it alleges, the mayor and his aides "willfully conspired...to conceal John Cicilline's illegal
activities". Ceprano also charges that he was fired not for poor job performance, but because he resisted the
mayor's efforts to perform tax favors for political friends and supporters. Lawyers for Ceprano are asking for $10
million.[42] The single count complaint against John Cicilline was dismissed by Judge Kristin Rodgers on
November 17, 2009.[43]
Budget controversy
Shortly after assuming office, Cicilline's successor as the Mayor of the City of Providence, Angel Taveras,
announced that the City was facing a "category 5" hurricane due to its substantial debt. Tavares was compelled
to engage in austerity cuts including teacher layoffs and paycuts for city employees.[44] The total structural debt
inherited by Tavares in 2011 was $180 million.[45]
A report commissioned by the City of Providence found that the Cicilline administration had transferred funds
from the Undesignated Surplus (the city's cash reserves) without the proper approval of the City Council, had not
provided financial information on a timely basis to the independent auditor, the City Council or the Internal
Auditor, and had not provided the City Council with monthly financial statements or with projections of
year-end surpluses or deficits, among other findings.[46] Providence City Council Finance Chairman John Igliozzi
accused him of "hiding the scope of the city's fiscal woes through 'illusory revenues, borrowing and other
tricks.'"[47]
Fitch Ratings also downgraded Providence's ratings, citing "imprudent budgeting decisions and failure to
implement recurring budget solutions". Ciciline, who portrayed himself as a reformer looking to restore
transparency to city hall, was criticized by his opponents from the primary and House elections: Democrat
Anthony Gemma said that he felt Cicilline had lied his way to federal office and Republican John Loughlin said
"You just don't lie to people in such a transparent way."[47]
A year later, it was reported that Providence could be on the brink of bankruptcy. Former Mayor Vincent Cianci
put much blame on Cicilline for Providence's problems, saying that although he didn't think it was entirely his
fault, he did hide it from the public. Experts have said that the only way out for Providence may be to declare
bankruptcy.[48][49]
U.S. House of Representatives (2011–present)
Elections
2010
On February 13, 2010, Cicilline announced his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives following the
retirement of Patrick J. Kennedy. He won the Democratic primary in September with 37% of the vote: defeating
businessman Anthony Gemma (23%), State Representative David Segal (20%), and state party chairman Bill
5 of 11 3/5/2017 6:16 PM

Lynch (20%).[50][51]
In November, he defeated Republican State Representative John Loughlin with 51% of the vote.[1][52]
2012
He ran for re-election in the newly redrawn 1st district, and won.[53]
A February 2012 survey showed Cicilline's approval rating had dropped almost 10% in 3 months, with the
percent rating his performance "excellent or good" dropping by 24%. Anthony Gemma, Cicilline's primary
opponent, said that the poll clearly showed that "a majority of Rhode Islanders wanted to see Cicilline go."[54]
In 2011, it was reported that although Rhode Island had experienced a population shift of only 7,200, a new
congressional map would put 125,000 Rhode Islanders into new districts, which would help Democrats, and
notably Cicilline.[55] Fellow House Democrat Jim Langevin accused Cicilline of trying to use the redistricting to
aid with his reelection campaign. Possible Republican contenders suggested that it was an attempt to save
Cicilline after his approval numbers had dropped. Cicilline commented, saying that he did not attempt to
influence the redistricting.[56]
2014
He won re-election to a third term in office.
2016
Cicilline won re-election to a fourth term in office in the 2016 election. He defeated his opponent, Republican H.
Russell Taub, with 64% of the vote.[57]
Tenure
Upon being sworn in, Cicilline became the fourth openly gay member of Congress.[58]
Cicilline says that his biggest priority in Congress is helping the creation of good-paying jobs in Rhode Island. He
also has indicated his support for small businesses, seniors, Medicare, and for bringing the troops home.[59]
Cicilline has voted with his party 96% of the time.[60] He has been described as a "Populist-Leaning Liberal".[61]
An avid supporter of non-violence, Cicilline has taken a stance against the U.S. military presence in Libya,
voting to limit the use of funds supporting NATO operations in Libya and to remove armed forces from Libya.[62]
On a domestic level, he is a strong anti-gun advocate. (He was a founding member of the bipartisan coalition
Mayors Against Illegal Guns.)[63] In 2010, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence endorsed Cicilline; in
2000, the National Rifle Association awarded him an F- lifetime score.[64] Cicilline has also indicated his support
for a ban on the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons, for more stringent state restrictions on
the purchase and possession of firearms, and for a requirement that manufacturers equip firearms with child-
safety locks.[65] On November 16, 2011, Cicilline made a powerful public statement against the National Right-
to-Carry Reciprocity Act which would "require all states to allow out-of-state visitors to carry concealed
firearms as long as the laws of the visitors' home states allow them to do so."[66] He insisted that the Second
Amendment had nothing to do with this bill, which, he said, would infringe upon the right of state governments
to protect the safety of their citizens, and would force communities to accept concealed-carry standards set by
other states.[67]
6 of 11 3/5/2017 6:16 PM

Cicilline is pro-choice, and advocates that abortions should always be legally available and that government
funding should be provided to clinics and medical facilities that provide abortion services.[65] He opposed the
Protect Life Act of October 2011, which would ban the use of federal funds to cover any costs under health care
plans that pay for abortions and would allow federally funded hospitals to refuse to perform the abortions (even
in cases in which the mother's life is in danger).[68] Stating that the bill would put women's lives at risk and would
limit "how women can spend their own private dollars to purchase health insurance," Cicilline declared it
"outrageous."[69] He also voted in February 2011 against prohibiting the disbursement of federal funds to
Planned Parenthood and, in May 2011, against prohibiting taxpayer funding of abortion.[62] Cicilline has also
cosponsored the Violence Against Women Health Initiative Act of 2011 to "improve the health care system's
assessment and response to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and for other
purposes."[70]
Cicilline has declared his support for veterans' "access to a range of resources in health care, housing,
employment, mental health services, and education."[71] He has cosponsored the Veterans Dog Training Therapy
Act to aid veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder,[72] the Disabled Veterans Tax Termination Act to permit
disabled veterans to receive both retirement pay and disability compensation,[73] and the Veteran Employment
Transition Act of 2011 to extend work opportunities to recently discharged veterans.[74] On November 18, 2011,
Cicilline said the following about the Vow Hire Heroes Act, which increases job opportunities for veterans: "This
vote ensures that Rhode Island veterans and all of our nation's veterans will receive some of the tools and
resources they need to successfully reenter the workforce and provide for their families and loved ones."[75]
