A statement from Mayor Grebien regarding Congressman Cicilline stepping down and the open First Congressional District seat.
PAWTUCKET MAYOR DONALD GREBIEN
Congressman Cicilline has been a tremendous leader and a strong ally to the City of Pawtucket and while I am thrilled for him to be taking on this new role, his value in Congress will certainly be missed.
His experience will bring a world of knowledge to the RI Foundation.
While I am extremely flattered that I have been approached multiple times about running for this Congressional seat, I have not made any decisions.
Right now, I need to reflect and have conversations with my wife and family.
I am keeping my options open. However, my primary focus is my family and the residents of the City of Pawtucket who I am truly honored to serve.
I will make my decision in time based on what is in their best interest.
