A BETTER DEAL. CONGRESSMAN DAVID CICILLINE.

Dear David,

I am hosting #ABetterDeal Town Hall on Saturday, January 13th at 2PM at the Pell Elementary School in Newport, located at 35 Dexter Avenue, Newport, to provide an opportunity for residents of the First Congressional District of Rhode Island to gather together and discuss ‘A Better Deal,’ the Democratic economic agenda to create good-paying jobs, raise wages and secure a better future. The American people want Congress to take bold action to support the middle class, but over the past year, President Trump and Congressional Republicans have prioritized the wealthiest Americans and corporate special interests over working men and women. I am fighting hard to oppose their disastrous policies, and I want to hear from you about the issues that matter most to you. More information on the upcoming Town Hall is available on Facebook here . If you have any questions, or to RSVP, email annie.pease@mail.house.gov or call 729-5600.

Afghanistan

The brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces represent our country’s most important values of service, honor, and courage. That’s why it was such an honor to be able to spend Christmas in Kabul, Afghanistan with men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who are serving there as part of Operation Resolute Support.

I had the opportunity to visit our troops in Afghanistan and Kuwait along with three of my Republican colleagues from the House Foreign Affairs Committee – U.S. Congressman Lee Zeldin, U.S. Congressman Mike Coffman, and U.S. Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick. During the trip, I had the incredible privilege to meet with a number of Rhode Islanders who are serving our nation with distinction. These men and women represent the finest values that our state has to offer, and all Rhode Islanders should be incredibly grateful for their service.
