RIF gives out a lot of cash to different organizations that work for Rhode Islanders. There are waaaay worse groups that could be holding that money!

I will miss him, but the guy has been working hard for years, as mayor and then as a Rep. He's earned some relaxation, but I will be said not to have his voice in D.C. for me.

And they were both good, conscientious, active legislators, too, not useless sucks like Gym Jordan or MTG.

Someone still has a small Kalus sign in their yard in Cumberland, with a little American flag. SMH...

That bill stopping them from investment trading must be picking up steam!

I guess the GOP has to run someone but Fung would get blown out by roughly double the margin he lost CD-2 by

Any ideas on who might run to fill the seat? Maybe a few of the failed governor candidates from last year - Gorbea, Brown, Munoz

He's either woefully ignorant on a topic that he was pushing legislation for, or knowingly straight up lying to push what he was trying to pass. Regardless of whether you're for gun control or not, that's not someone I want as a congressman representing the people of this state.

It seemed pretty wide open until Magaziner parachuted in. The field cleared after that.

House Dem leadership smacked him around when he challenged their succession plans and now they're losing one of the more effective communicators in the caucus. Good job.

Oh, I think it’s both! Why chase a leadership position you’re not getting when you can go home and settle into a comfortable glide path to retirement.

Already "looking into it"
- CF Mayor Maria Rivera
- State Senator Dawn Euer
- State Senator Meghan Kallman
And some unofficial mentions of former State Rep Gayle Goldin.
So far...

Even he's smarter than to try for 0-4.

Or at 61 years old, he sees the RI Foundation as his final job. Spend 10-15 years there, no constant travel to Washington, no need to do any campaigning, collect a much larger salary and stay home. All that could also be a big part of the decision calculus.

When my son was little, he'd get so excited to toss it in from the back seat.

It was pretty slim pickings for Langevin's seat, so will be interesting to see what kind of potential congressional inventory we've got.

Seriously. This guy thinks adding a brace to a rifle makes it fire automatically like a machine gun. He is an embarrassment.
