Every day, over the last 12 years, I put my heart and soul into the work of improving the lives of every Rhode Islander. I’m so proud of all we accomplished.
Thank you, for the honor and the privilege, Rhode Island.

- As we remember the 21 lives taken one year ago, I’m calling on my colleagues to take real action to #EndGunViolence. We need to do all we can so that no other community has to endure the loss that Uvalde is suffering through. #BanAssaultWeaponsOne year ago, a gunman with an AR-15 style rifle shot and killed 19 fourth graders and two teachers, and wounded 17 others at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. It was the third-deadliest school shooting in modern American history.
- Tonight, I addressed the House of Representatives for the final time as a Member of Congress. As a lifelong Rhode Islander, it is only fitting that my final message is one of HOPE -- hope for our democracy and our Congress. Watch here:
