Former member of Congress · last served 118th Congress
David N. Cicilline
David Cicilline was a Democratic U.S. representative from Rhode Island, first elected to Congress in 2011, who voted with most Democrats on 97% of the 112th Congress’s yes/no votes and sponsored 5 bills that became law (113th–118th Congress).
How we count: “Broke with party” is a yes/no roll call where the member voted against most of their own party on that vote (party as recorded; even splits not counted). “Pork: own share” splits each earmark shared by several members evenly among them.

Results run through the 2024 elections; nothing from 2026 is shown until it is certified. A margin is a fact about one election, never a score of how well a member represents anyone, and PORKER does not rank members by it.
How has Rhode Island’s 1st district done while Rep. Cicilline served?
2011 to 2022 in RI-1: typical household income was up 16% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was down 2.0 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was down 4.8 points.
Each mini chart has its own scale, fitted to its lines (it does not start at zero), so compare the numbers, not the heights. Teal = district, oxblood = state, grey = U.S.
While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in Rhode Island’s 1st district during Cicilline’s time representing it (2011 to 2023). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
One set of district lines. RI-1’s lines did not change in these years, so every year can be compared. The Census Bureau has no 2020 yearly estimate.

Read this first. These are counts of records Congress.gov lists. Many bills never get a CBO estimate or a report, so a zero is not a mark against a member. We never show this as a score.
