From 2009, DaSilva served four years representing District 63 in the Rhode Island House of Representatives before running unsuccessfully for Rhode Island Senate in District 14 against incumbent Daniel Da Ponte in 2012.[1] In 2018, DaSilva ran successfully to be the first executive Mayor of East Providence after the city's conversion from a Council-Manager to a Mayor-Council form of government.[2] In the intervening six years that he was out of public office, DaSilva founded the East Providence Youth Soccer Association (EPYSO) and served as its President. Personal lifeDaSilva is married to Karina DaSilva, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic. Together they have two sons, Donovan and Dorian. Dasilva is a Captain in the City of Pawtucket Police Department and holds a Bachelors of Science degree in the Administration of Justice. Rhode Island LegislatureDaSilva was elected to the Rhode Island House of Representatives from District 63 in 2008, serving from 2009 to 2013. During his first term, he served on the House Labor and House Municipal Government committees. For his second term he served on the House Judiciary Committee. During his time in the legislature, DaSilva championed tougher domestic violence laws,[3] closing the indoor prostitution loophole [4] and full-day kindergarten.[5] DaSilva was often at odds with his own party's leadership during his tenure.[6] DaSilva was one of a few Democratic legislators that voted against pension reform championed by then General Treasurer Gina Raimondo and future political rival Senator Daniel Da Ponte. This move was highly criticized state-wide as being too close to the state labor unions.[7] DaSilva did not seek another term in the House in order to pursue the District 14 Senate seat held by Daniel Da Ponte, Dasilva narrowly lost against incumbent Da Ponte, by less than 100 votes. Time Out of OfficeDaSilva spent six years away from politics after his narrow defeat for Rhode Island Senate. During that time he advanced to the rank of Captain in the City of Pawtucket, RI police department and founded the East Providence Youth Soccer Association (EPYSA). DaSilva focused his spare time on community service, mainly through building the EPYSA organization and serving as its President. Mayor of East ProvidenceElectionDaSilva announced his intention to become the first executive Mayor of East Providence in early August, 2017 via a press release. His announcement was followed by a formal 'kick-off' event the following month.[8] DaSilva was joined in the race for Mayor by Nicholas Oliver, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Partnership for Home Care. While the election is technically non-partisan, DaSilva was quickly backed by the East Providence Democratic City Committee [9] and Oliver, while stating he is an Independent, was supported in Republican circles. The two candidates would be the only contenders until early 2018 when former Chief of Staff to Congressman Robert Weygand James Russo and former City Councilor Chrissy Rossi joined the race. Oliver subsequently dropped out citing personal family issues. In June 2018, DaSilva, Russo and Rossi formally filed for Mayor as did two previously unannounced candidates, city Building Official Albert Quattrucci and local attorney William Maaia. Maaia withdrew quietly without starting a campaign. In Rhode Island's state primary on September 12, 2018, DaSilva won first place in the four-way contest handily with 41.5% of the vote, Russo came in second, setting the two up for the general election. The November 6th general election saw DaSilva beat Russo with 52.2% of the total votes. The election was notable for being particularly subdued, scandal-free and lacking in acrimony.[10] In OfficeDaSilva took office on the evening of January 8, 2019. In the lead up to inauguration DaSilva announced his judicial nominees for the Municipal and Probate Courts as well as his appointments for the position of City Solicitor and Assistant City Solicitor all appointments required approval by the incoming City Council and each was approved.
