Cicconi served as assistant to the president and as Staff Secretary at the White House Office from 1989 to 1990 under George H. W. Bush. Prior, he served as special assistant to the president and as special assistant to Chief of Staff James Baker in the White House Office from 1981 to 1985 under Ronald Reagan.[3][4]
Cicconi endorsed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton during the 2016 elections out of dislike of the Republican nominee Donald Trump. In a statement, he said: “Hillary Clinton is experienced, qualified, and will make a fine president. The alternative, I fear, would set our nation on a very dark path.”[5]
