Robert Quattrocchi is an American politician.[1] He serves as a Republican member for the 41st district of the Rhode Island House of Representatives.[2][3]
In 2016, Quattrocchi was elected for the 41st district of the Rhode Island House of Representatives,[2][4] succeeding Michael Marcello. Quattrocchi assumed office in 2017, and was re-elected in 2018, 2020, and 2022.[2]
In 2023, Quattrocchi was removed from his position on the House State Government & Elections Committee by Speaker Joe Shekarchi after asking Democratic Representative Rebecca Kislak if she was a "pedophile" during a debate over equity impact statements.[5] Kislak, a lesbian, is one of only two openly LGBTQ+ members serving in the House, along with Shekarchi, a gay man.[5]
