Robert (Bob) Quattrocchi represents District 41, which includes all of Scituate and a portion of Cranston. He was first elected to the House of Representatives in November 2016. In 2018, 2020, and 2024 he was appointed to leadership roles in the caucus, serving as the Deputy Minority Leader and Deputy Minority Whip. He sits as a member of the House Committee on Oversight (reviews the operation and efficiency of various state agencies, and fulfills the separation of powers legislative role); the House Committee on Municipal Government and Housing (deliberates on legislation affecting RI city and town governments, housing matters, constituent interests and transportation); and the Committee on Special Legislation. He also served as a member of the House Study Commission on Geo Engineering; and the Multi-Unit Housing Recycling Program Study Commission, which he sponsored as a freshman legislator and the study was ratified.

In his first term in office, Quattrocchi was recognized nationally with a “Conservative Excellence’ citation from the American Conservative Union Foundation, based on his House floor voting record. Not shy from asking the tough questions on behalf of Rhode Island taxpayers, he has weighed in on substantive issues such as the maintaining RI infrastructure, the PawSox deal, tolling our highways, illegal immigration, the UHIP computer failure, and the lack of proper oversight at DCYF. In the 2019 session, he inspired legislation (which passed) for dyslexia screenings and related education plans in public schools.  He has been a champion of good, clean and efficient government reforms such as: term limits; Governor’s line-item veto; stopping the diversion of funds from restricted accounts to the state’s general fund; advocating for the creation of an Auditor General; and lowering and eliminating taxes for residents and businesses. He was instrumental in bringing some tax relief to disabled veterans in 2018.


During the 2023/24 legislative sessions, the Republican Caucus moved the needle on a number of important state government issues on behalf of Rhode Island’s hardworking taxpayers.  Please click here to view the RI House Minority Report: 2023 Legislative Session Recap for an impressive list of caucus accomplishments.

About rhode island house republicans


​In 1636, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, established the first working model of Democracy after being banished from Massachusetts for his “extreme views” concerning freedom of speech and religion. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams publicly acknowledged Williams as the originator of these concepts, along with the freedom of public assembly, in the First Amendment in the United States Constitution. Today, Rhode Island House Republicans uphold the liberties designed by our Founders and preserved in our Constitution, and are the primary legislative body promoting lean government, fighting for lower taxes, and advocating for initiatives and policies that improve the economy and in turn, the lives of Rhode Islanders.  As members of a part-time assembly, we are small business owners, retired educators, community activists, lawyers, farmers, military service veterans, volunteers, former local officials, retired social workers, coaches, musicians, churchgoers and board directors -- bringing these community engagement and professional experiences to our work, on your behalf, at the Rhode Island State House.
