Cicilline Opens Woonsocket Congressional Office

U.S. Congressman David Cicilline (D-RI) opened a Woonsocket Congressional Satellite Office today to serve constituents in northern Rhode Island. The new office will allow Congressman Cicilline and members of his staff to meet regularly with constituents and more easily provide assistance with federal agencies.

“I am looking forward to the opportunities that this office will provide to better serve residents of northern Rhode Island," said Cicilline. "I encourage constituents to contact my Woonsocket office with any concerns they might have. Whether you are looking for help with Social Security, would like to apply to a military academy, or need assistance for your small business, my office is here to serve and ensure that the federal government works for you,” he said.

Mayor Leo Fontaine joined members of the Woonsocket City Council in welcoming the congressman at the official opening Monday morning.

“Congressman Cicilline’s satellite office is a great addition to the Woonsocket City Hall and I extend my welcome to him and his staff," said Fontaine. "The opening of Congressman Cicilline’s office was a perfect opportunity to expand services for Woonsocket residents as well as utilize some of the empty space at City Hall.”

“My family and I appreciate Congressman Cicilline’s efforts to make himself and his staff more accessible; we are pleased that Woonsocket has congressional representation right here in City Hall," said City Council Vice President Dan Gendron. "I think that federal representatives working with city officials in a very close relationship is a great addition to the services offered at City Hall.”

Cicilline thanked the group for their support, inviting constituents to contact his staff with any problems they may have accessing federal government services such as Social Security, Medicare, or veterans’ benefits.   

“The opening of Congressman Cicilline’s satellite office in City Hall is indicative of how we can bring everybody together to serve Woonsocket residents, and  it is something that needs to happen. Woonsocket is an important place, and by Congressman Cicilline putting roots here in City Hall, it shows that he recognizes it as an important place. I appreciate it personally and I am sure the city does as well,” said Councilman Christopher Beauchamp.

The Woonsocket satellite office will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Mondays, and Rhode Islanders can reach a member of the congressman's staff during these hours by calling 401-597-6611. Residents can also contact Cicilline's Pawtucket office on weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. by calling 401-729-5600.
