Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., has made his March Madness picks on the Roll Call bracket and showed a lot of hometown spirit. The Providence local chose fellow Rhode Island Democrat to win the tournament—Rep. Jim Langevin.
Langevin represents Providence College, who would have to beat Democratic Rep. Karen Bass' University of Southern California on Thursday. Cicilline chose Republican Rep. Lynn Jenkins' University of Kansas to lose to Providence in the final. President Barack Obama chose Jenkins to take home the trophy this year.
Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., pulled for the Michigan teams in making a plug for folks to fill out their brackets.

Also on the Hill, Senate Environment and Public Works Committee staffers are getting involved with Roll Call's bracket.
Press secretary Kristina Baum is a loyal University of Florida fan but had to pick a new team to support this year. She chose GOP Rep. Todd Young's University of Indiana to win. And the panel's majority director of new media Daisy C. Letendre chose GOP Rep. Tom Cole's University of Oklahoma to win.
