(Cranston, RI) -- A Democratic caucus is being called for tonight by Rhode Island House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello to ask for support of the reinstatement of his existing leadership team. Mattiello claimed in his victory speech after Tuesday's election that he dealt with the worst-ever political attack during his campaign, which included a coalition of Democrats announcing that they would not support him as Speaker moving forward. Mattiello told multiple media outlets yesterday that he is the firewall for preventing a minority voice from controlling the state. The caucus is set to take place at the Chapel Grille Restaurant in Cranston.
