PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — A former Gov. Gina Raimondo staffer is joining the race for Rhode Island's 1st Congressional seat. 'I got into public service almost a decade ago to help rebuild Rhode Island after decades of decline that hurt families like mine, and as part of Governor Raimondo's Commerce team I did just that,' said Nick Autiello, a Democrat. Autiello, a Providence resident, said Rhode Island needs someone in Congress who's going to protect democracy and women's rights, build a clean energy future, and create family-supporting jobs.
