David Cicilline was accompanied by four of the hardest working volunteers on his field team as he welcomed President Barack Obama to Rhode Island yesterday on the tarmac of T.F. Green International Airport.

“Our volunteers have selflessly devoted their time and energy since I kicked off my campaign and I was excited about the opportunity to have four volunteers join me in welcoming President Obama to Rhode Island,” said Cicilline.

“It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to meet the President of the United States and it’s a memory I will never forget,” said Community College of Rhode Island student Juliet Peloquin, a volunteer for Cicilline’s campaign who accompanied him yesterday. “I’ve volunteered for David Cicilline because I know he will fight for interest free loans for students and common-sense policies that will put our country back to work. I’m now more excited than ever to help get out the vote for David Cicilline on November 2nd so he can go to Congress and help President Obama get our country back on the right track.”

The four volunteers who attended President Obama’s arrival were:
