UPDATE: @ClayPell tells me that he won't be a candidate in the #RI01 race despite his continued interest in serving in public office - he recently accepted an appointment as the US Coast Guard's representative at the U.N. https://t.co/dbHn0lBtq6
.@ClayPell says he's not planning to enter the CD1 race because he just started representing the Coast Guard at the United Nations in January. "I'm grateful for all the calls I've received," but "I'm super excited about this opportunity at this important time on the world stage."

I always knew I wanted a career in public service, but it was the mentorship of Senator Claiborne Pell that inspired me to run for office. On #ThankYourMentor Day, I’m grateful to Senator Pell for being such a positive influence in my life and the lives of so many others.
