DEM Primary: Gemma or Cicilline

DEM Primary: Gemma or Cicilline

Last September, then Providence Mayor David Cicilline won a four-way primary for the Democratic nomiation for the 1st Cong. Dist. Who finished a strong second? Anthony Gemma. The RI businessman jumped in late and ran a highly credible race.

Cicilline went on to edge John Loughlin in the general election, but since then the new Congressman has been under constant criticism for his handling of Providence's finances while he was Mayor.

Now, with just 18 months until the next election, Gemma appears to be an early front runner to challenge Cicilline.

Gemma, who is well-known for helping to build his family's successful GEM Plumbing and their Gloria Gemma foundation is a distinct contrast to Cicilline.

If the DEM primary for the first Cong. Dist. were held today, who would you vote for?
