Let’s congratulate Rep. Faso! CONG. CAND. PAT RYAN.

 

David --

 

Congratulations are in order for the 19th District’s own John Faso!

 

With Darrell Issa’s retirement, Faso just moved up to #2 on Roll Call’s list of the most vulnerable members of the House.

 

We can’t let Faso’s big day go unnoticed -- 
 

 It’s not easy to earn this kind of national distinction -- let’s take a look back at how Faso did it:

 

• Voted to strip healthcare coverage away from tens of thousands of his own constituents
• Voted to roll back consumer protection and Wall Street reform measures designed to prevent another Great Recession
• Failed to stop Trump and Paul Ryan from taking money out of our pockets to give their billionaire friends a tax cut

 

Let’s celebrate Faso’s new, hard-earned status as the second-most vulnerable incumbent in the country -- 

 

...tell Faso congratulations -- and we’re coming for him.

 

-- Team Ryan

We have to keep Joe Arpaio out of the Senate. U.S. SENATOR CORY BOOKER.

DAVID, I never thought I would say these words, but Joe Arpaio just announced he’s running for Senate in Arizona. Like Roy Moore in Alabama, Arpaio is completely unfit to serve in the Senate. His federal conviction of criminal contempt and subsequent pardon by President Trump is a stain on our criminal justice system and our country. We have to keep Joe Arpaio out of the Senate and make sure Kyrsten Sinema has the resources it takes to win. Kyrsten’s race is one that could determine the Senate majority in November. But we know that extremists like Arpaio will have the full support of the GOP campaign machine, and they will relentlessly attack Kyrsten to keep this seat in the GOP’s hands. That’s why we must give Kyrsten’s campaign a boost of grassroots support.  THANKS, CORY.

DID YOU MISS IT? CONG. CAND. KEN HARBAUGH.

David --

We learned last week that one of our local hospitals, Affinity Medical Center, is scheduled to close in a matter of weeks. As you can imagine, 800 people losing their jobs would be a blow to any community, but on top of that, we will lose a care facility that has operated for over a century.

Ken was LIVE this morning rallying with nurses and local leaders to try to keep the hospital open.

Part of the job of any Congressman is SHOWING UP. Thanks, Ken, for showing up and fighting for jobs and families.

In service,

Team Harbaugh

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.
