Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) will resign from Congress in June to become president and CEO of the Rhode Island Foundation, the Boston Globe reports.
“The announcement, expected Tuesday, is sure to send shockwaves through Rhode Island’s political establishment, setting up an off-year special election for the First Congressional District seat that most political observers believed the 61-year-old Cicilline could have held for the rest of his life.“
