A Message from Gabe

Greetings Rhode Islanders, 

My team and I have been working hard to bring federal investments to Rhode Island. Earlier this month, I was proud to announce federal funding for 15 projects across Rhode Island's First Congressional District. The over $20 million in direct federal funding for these projects will make a real difference in the lives of countless Rhode Islanders. Across our great district, these federal investments will expand affordable housing options, improve public safety, revitalize our public spaces, and support the next generation of learners.

Here is the full list of funded projects:

  • $1,000,000 for Affordable Housing for Victims of Abuse in Rhode Island
  • $789,000 for the Children's Home Rehabilitation Project in Providence
  • $920,000 for Green Infrastructure Installations at Mashapaug Pond
  • $1,000,000 for the Halliwell School Redevelopment Project in North Smithfield
  • $585,000 for Higher Ground International, Community Programming Rooms Construction in Providence
  • $486,490 for IT Media Lab and Entrepreneurship Center Build-out in Providence
  • $689,000 for the Lincoln Emergency Communications Systems Project
  • $500,000 for Multi-Purpose Community Center  Cass Pond Restoration at Cass Park
  • $5,000,000 for Newport Cliff Walk
  • $1,666,279 for North Main Street Revitalization in Providence
  • $500,000 for Pawtucket Library, Sayles Building Re-Pointing
  • $850,000 for Renovation of Boys and Girls Clubs of Northern Rhode Islands Cumberland-Lincoln Clubhouse and Grounds

Should Congress direct federal spending to local community projects?

In Washington, I have been hard at work to deliver for our district. At a recent markup in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, I was proud to support H.R.6610, the Passport System Reform and Backlog Prevention Act. This bipartisan bill would make renewing passports a quicker and easier process. Current passport renewal processes are too complicated and can take many months to complete. This bill would be a massive improvement.

I'm proud to be a member of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. This week, we met to discuss how we can advance gun safety priorities through the Congressional appropriations process. Congress must step up to do more to prevent unnecessary and senseless gun violence.

I spoke at a House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology hearing on the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, which advances high-impact energy technologies and develops new ways to generate and use energy. I was proud to underscore Rhode Island’s leadership in clean energy and its status as the home of the nation’s first commercial offshore wind farm.
