RI-02: Seth Magaziner (D)
Seth Magaziner is a lifelong Rhode Islander, new dad to Max and husband to Julia. He is running for Congress to fight for the middle class and those working hard to join it.
He has served as Rhode Island’s general treasurer since 2015 where he has delivered results for the second congressional district by investing in education, job creation, and clean energy infrastructure.
As chair of the state’s school building task force, he led a statewide school construction initiative that created over 28,000 jobs and repaired or replaced over 200 schools like Garden City Elementary School in Cranston and the soon-to-be-completed combined elementary school in Johnston.
He also launched innovative clean energy financing programs that have helped cities and towns build out solar, wind and climate resiliency projects, saving taxpayers money and reducing fossil fuel emissions. With help from the programs he created, the town of West Warwick hasn’t paid an electricity bill on any municipal building in five years.
Over the last eight years, he helped pass the Reproductive Privacy Act in 2019 that codified the protections of Roe v. Wade into state law, as well as measures like banning guns on school grounds and a red flag law to take guns out of the hands of domestic abusers.
