Seth Magaziner, serving in the U.S. Congress and representing Rhode Island’s 2nd district, actively engages in issues impacting his constituents. Since assuming office in 2023, he has been involved in discussions ranging from environmental concerns to economic policies.

On April 4, 2025, Congressman Magaziner highlighted his participation in a forum chaired by the @NRDems, discussing the potential repercussions of proposed cuts at NOAA.
