CUMBERLAND – Gov. Dan McKee last Saturday swore in R. David Cruise as the newest Rhode Island Superior Court Judge. The ceremony took place at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Rhode Island’s Cumberland-Lincoln Clubhouse where McKee and Cruise both spent so many hours growing up.
“David is an honest, fair and thoughtful leader who brings decades of legal and government experience to the bench,” said McKee. “From his days at the Boys & Girls Club, all the way to the Rhode Island Superior Court, David has always been a person of integrity with a passion for his community. I know he will serve our state well.”

Raimondo continues making nominations on her way out the door
Gov. Gina Raimondo nominated her former legislative director to a Superior Court judgeship on Friday as she prepares to leave office, while several top aides announced they were leaving her administration.
David Cruise, a former state senator and aide to the chief of staff to Gov. Bruce Sundlun before his stint in Raimondo s office, was Raimondo s choice for a lifetime spot on the Superior Court bench. If confirmed by the Senate, he would replace Judge Bennett Gallo, who retired last February from the $170,545 a year post.
Cruise is also a second cousin and longtime friend of Lt. Gov. Dan McKee, who is set to become governor when Raimondo is sworn in as U.S. commerce secretary.
