Congressman Seth Magaziner, representing Rhode Island’s 2nd district, expressed strong opinions and shared updates on legislative initiatives in a series of tweets. Magaziner, who succeeded James Langevin in 2023, has been serving in this role since then. Born in Bristol, Rhode Island, he is a graduate of Brown University and Yale University and currently resides in Cranston.

On April 21, 2025, Congressman Magaziner addressed the issue of wage theft, asserting, “It’s outrageous that wage theft isn’t a federal felony. Props to Minnesota for taking action. I’ll keep pushing to pass my bill to make it a crime nationwide and protect working people from getting ripped off.” This statement underscores his commitment to making wage theft a federals offense to enhance worker protection.

In a follow-up tweet posted on April 21, 2025, Magaziner informed residents of his district about upcoming office hours. He tweeted, “ATTN #RI02 Residents: Our constituent services team will be holding office hours April 24th at 2PM at the Cranston Public Library. If you need help with a federal agency or have questions, stop by—our team is here to help!” The announcement reflects his office's ongoing efforts to assist his constituents with federal matters.

In another tweet on April 22, 2025, Congressman Magaziner emphasized gun control and safety, stating, “Keeping Rhode Islanders safe means making sure guns don’t end up in the wrong hands. I’m joining my colleagues to support the Federal Firearm Licensee Act to update decades-old laws to crack down on rogue gun dealers & give law enforcement stronger tools to stop gun trafficking.” Magaziner's remarks highlight his legislative efforts to strengthen gun control measures and enhance law enforcement's capabilities against gun trafficking.

Congressman Seth Magaziner, aged 39, continues to prioritize both the protection of workers and public safety through his legislative initiatives, reflecting his background and current residence in Cranston and his ongoing role as a representative of Rhode Island's 2nd district.
