The congressman hasn’t gone into any details publicly about his wife’s condition, though assuming the official explanation for his resignation is genuine, this appears to be a private matter involving a private citizen.from Democratic Rep. David Cicilline, whose last day on Capitol Hill is tomorrow. The Rhode Island congressman is poised to become the new president and CEO of a Providence-based charitable foundation.
