Congressman Gabe Amo

Trump is trying to sow doubt in our elections. He knows Americans stand against his agenda of chaos, high costs, and corruption. Joined Kate Boulduan on @cnn.com to talk about how these threats are just the latest reflection of Republicans' failures.

Great tour of the new NOAA Marine Operations Center in Newport. Home to four research vessels, it will provide vital ocean data to fishermen, coastal communities & maritime industries. This is what the Blue Economy is all about: good jobs, expanding knowledge & building a resilient future.

One of my jobs in Congress is holding Trump & his Cabinet accountable for hurting Rhode Islanders. That’s why I called out Russ Vought for his harmful health care cuts & Secretary Wright for his lies about lowering energy costs. I won’t back down because you deserve answers.

Happy AmeriCorps Opening Day! Thank you to the AmeriCorps members and partners showing up for Rhode Island communities every day. Your work makes a real difference, and I’ll keep fighting to protect the federal funding that helps you get it done.

As the son of immigrants, I know how much the oath of citizenship means. It was an honor to welcome 30 new citizens to our country. Their journeys remind us that America is strongest when everyone has the chance to belong, contribute, and build a future.

Explored the hidden corners of America's second-largest bastion fort, Fort Adams! From its original completion in 1799 to being the place where Bob Dylan “went electric,” glad to appreciate this historic site at the Fort Adams Block Party with the community.

As grocery prices rise, the Little Compton Food Bank is helping make sure families don’t go hungry. Recognized Sue Chace, volunteers, donors, and staff for their hard work delivering food directly to the Little Compton & Tiverton communities they serve. Grateful for these inspiring efforts!

This year, my team & I have: ✅Helped resolve more than 300 issues for Rhode Islanders 💵Returned over $335,000 to Rhode Islanders in the First District Need help with a federal agency? My office is here to help. 📞 401-729-5600 📧 AmoOffice@mail.house.gov

Rhode Island manufacturers like Solid State Power are developing cutting-edge tech, creating good-paying jobs, and propelling RI’s Blue Economy into the future. Glad to tour their Pawtucket facility and see how their marine battery power technology is making discovery possible.

Honored the nine Rhode Island Marines who lost their lives 43 years ago during a bombing attack in Beirut, Lebanon. Alongside families, loved ones, and community members, we remembered these fallen heroes at the Providence memorial.

Union workers power Rhode Island’s economy. They deserve fair wages, safe workplaces, and a strong voice. At Ironworkers Local 37, I reaffirmed my commitment to protecting the rights of workers and strengthening the livelihoods of their families.

Thrilled to witness a milestone for RI’s Edesia Nutrition & their mission to end child malnutrition across the globe. Their expanded facility will allow them to produce even more of their lifesaving product, give 10 million children a chance to thrive & create opportunities at home. 🇺🇸

Masked ICE agents detaining a father and his children on the streets of Providence is unacceptable. These intimidation tactics & dangerous escalations have no place in our communities and make us less safe. It’s time to end this cruelty.

Talked to budding engineers, electricians, programmers, and technicians about the career opportunities of the Blue Economy at Polaris MEP’s Manufacturing Day. These young people are inventing the future and I can’t wait to see what they build next!

🛥️ Skilled workers at Hinckley Yachts in Portsmouth are keeping world-class boats in good shape for winter while supporting Rhode Island’s maritime industry. Great to see their work on my Blue Economy Tour and the skilled workforce helping keep this industry strong.

The first weekend of the 2026 Warren Walkabout was full of food, art, unique stores, and more! ☀️ Got to enjoy a coffee cabinet (IYKYK) with RI Senator Felag at the famous Delekta’s Pharmacy.🥤

​Congratulations to Senate Majority Leader Frank Ciccone on being named the 2026 Italo-American Person of the Year and the Italo-American Club’s scholarship winners!🇮🇹

First, Trump politicized disaster aid. Now, his allies want to leave states & communities to fend for themselves. I’ve seen first hand how FEMA exists to help Americans recover and rebuild. Slashing this assistance will only hurt people.

Honored 100 years of United Way’s work to strengthen our communities at a very special Waterfire! Thank you to the entire United Way of RI team for helping Rhode Islanders build lives full of stability, security, and opportunity.

Wishing a very happy birthday to my wonderful colleague and friend @whitehouse.senate.gov! Proud to serve the people of Rhode Island by your side.

For 50 years, Sojourner House has helped survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking rebuild their lives. This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I joined the Reimagining Victim Advocacy Conference to affirm my commitment to supporting survivors.

I joined @lofgren.house.gov to demand answers to the Trump Admin’s destruction of the tools that keep us safe from extreme weather events. Americans need better warnings, not satellite-sized blind spots.

Pro football Friday night lights coming to Pawtucket this April! Great to welcome Coach A.J. McCarron & UFL Rhode Island Breakers team with future fans at Centreville Bank Stadium. 🌊🏈🏟️

Celebrated 30 new permanent supportive housing units for Rhode Islanders.🏘️ Thank you to the Women's Development Corporation and all who made this project possible. I’ll keep working to lower housing costs and increase supply so everyone has a safe place to call home.

🌊Dove into learning about aquaculture on my Blue Economy Tour at the Roger Williams University Oyster Farm!🦪 On the water and in the labs, students are strengthening shellfish production and building careers.

In awe of the strength and commitment of Rhode Islanders who turned out in Providence to Walk to End Alzheimer’s. For the thousands of Rhode Island families impacted by Alzheimer’s, I will keep working to increase funding for research and treatment to end this disease.

Trump and House GOP cut $1 trillion from our health system & failed to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, forcing thousands of RI’ers to go without care. It's time to pass the Protecting Health Care & Lowering Costs Act so Americans can see a doctor & afford needed care.

Celebrated the RI labor movement's commitment to working people with United Way of Rhode Island! Great to honor Dante F. Mollo Awardee, IUPAT & RI Building Trades Leader Scott Duhamel, a dedicated fighter for jobs and opportunity.

Conducted unannounced oversight of a regional ICE facility with @repauchincloss.bsky.social & @balint.house.gov. We witnessed individuals held for processing, questioned ICE officials & pressed for more humane treatment. I’ll keep pushing for an immigration system that reflects our values.

Proud to join @reed.senate.gov and @whitehouse.senate.gov in delivering $1,000,000 in USDA funding to help install an emergency waterline for Tiverton residents impacted by PFAS contamination.💧 As the community continues to recover, I’ll keep working to restore clean water for residents.

Sharing my deepest sympathies for the victims of the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary and all those who loved them.  It's a terrible night for this community and reminds us of the far too many others taken by gun violence.

Community Health Centers are essential. Grateful to recognize their contributions at RI Health Center Association’s Annual Meeting, and the work we must do to protect our communities from the harm of the Big, Ugly Law. We must invest in CHCs & stop the cuts that leave Americans poorer and sicker.

Thoughtful discussion with RI’s engineering leaders at the ACEC Fall Breakfast. From transportation infrastructure to sustainable materials, we need to think big to build for the future. I’ll keep working to deliver reliable federal funding and help develop a workforce to get it done.

$265 billion. $2,000 per household. That’s what Trump’s war of choice has cost you already.

More than $2.3 million in federal funding to improve water quality & restore ecosystems across RI and MA. I’m glad to work alongside @reed.senate.gov and others to secure investments to protect local waters, strengthen habitats & preserve natural resources for years to come.

Americans are paying the price at the gas pump for Trump’s illegal war with Iran while Putin cashes in and funds his war of aggression with Ukraine. Congress should pass the End Russian Oil Windfalls Act and stop letting Putin profit at America and the world’s expense.

Rooting for Little Compton’s Samuel Martin as he brings his civic knowledge and ideas to the National Civics Bee Championship! Good luck and I know you’ll make Rhode Island proud!

In case it wasn’t clear before, Trump’s actions are driving up costs. An unending, unnecessary war with Iran is keeping gas and diesel prices soaring — making everything else even more expensive. It doesn’t have to be this way. Americans deserve better.

Grateful to hear Pope Leo XIV is recovering after lung surgery. Wishing him strength and healing in the days ahead.

Celebrated Haus of Codec’s anniversary and their work supporting RI youth facing homelessness through community and the arts. When Trump tried to restrict essential housing and health funding, Haus of Codec fought back and won in court. I’ll keep fighting so RI youth have the support they deserve.

Today, we celebrate 251 years of the U.S. Navy and the generations of sailors who’ve served our nation. Proud to represent Rhode Island’s naval legacy, from Naval War College to NUWC Newport, and our rich maritime history. Happy birthday, U.S. Navy! ⚓️🇺🇸

Had a great time last week commemorating Nigeria’s 66th year of Independence with local members of the diaspora at the Oasis African Center.🇳🇬 With such fantastic music, culture, and Naija pride, glad to celebrate with Rhode Island’s Nigerian-American community.

🍂The air is crisp, the leaves are changing, and nothing beats walking in the Autumnfest Parade!🍁 Glad to see so many Rhode Islanders celebrating fall, foliage, and fun in Woonsocket.

Make no mistake: Trump is weaponizing the federal government to target @repilhan.bsky.social. Our government should serve the people, not a president’s personal grudges. Stop the political intimidation. Stop the abuse of power.
