| Representative Seth Magaziner proudly serves Rhode Island's 2nd Congressional District.
Representative Magaziner started his career as a public school teacher. Prior to being elected to Congress in 2022, he served as Rhode Island's General Treasurer for eight years where he spearheaded an initiative to rebuild school buildings across the state and created new clean energy programs at the Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank, creating thousands of jobs and lowering costs for ratepayers.
Representative Magaziner ran for Congress to fight for working people and protect the fundamental rights of all Americans. He is committed to protecting Social Security and Medicare, lowering the price of prescription drugs, and standing up for fair pay and benefits for workers. Magaziner supports a woman's right to make her own health care decisions and common-sense gun safety legislation to make communities safer.
As a new parent, Representative Magaziner is working to build a country where everyone has a chance to achieve the American Dream, just like his family did. His grandfathers were both sons of immigrants who grew up in poverty. Despite not having much, when they returned from World War II they were able to find good, middle-class jobs - Grandpa Bob as a steelworker in Worcester and his Grandpa Louis as a bookkeeper at a fruit canning company in New York. With those jobs they bought homes, started families, and put their kids through college. This was the American Dream that was so common a generation ago - the promise that with hard work and perseverance, each generation can build a better life for their kids than they had for themselves.
Representative Magaziner believes we can restore the American Dream and expand it to those communities for whom it was never fully realized. He has spent his career fighting for Rhode Islanders and will continue that fight in Washington.
Magaziner lives in Cranston with his wife Julia and one year old son, Max. He considers himself lucky to represent the best district in America. |
