WOONSOCKET — Woonsocket Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt says she is weighing a possible run for Rhode Island's First Congressional District seat soon to be vacated by Rep. David Cicilline.
"I
have not made a decision as of yet, but have been in conversations with
folks, including my family" whom she said were supportive of the idea.
Baldelli-Hunt has three grown children, ages 25, 26, and 33.
She says, however, she has to also weigh "what's in the interest of Woonsocket," and is in that process of consideration now.
"I don't have a definitive date as to when" she will make up her mind about running.
Cicilline has said he will leave the House of Representative on June 1 to become the new head of the Rhode Island Foundation.
Six
people have so far thrown their hats in the ring for the seat. They
are: Providence City Council member John Goncalves, Lt. Gov. Sabina
Matos, state Sen. Sandra Cano, former state Commerce Corporation staffer
Nicholas Autiello, former Republican congressional candidate Allen
Waters and state Rep. Nathan Biah.
