Rhode Island Congressman Seth Magaziner has broken Rhode Island Congressman Seth Magaziner has broken his campaign promise to move into Rhode Island’s 2nd Congressional District, leaving many questioning his commitment to the district he represents. The 41-year-old Democrat had promised to relocate his family to Cranston after his 2022 election win, but he revealed Friday that he no longer plans to do so. Magaziner, who has lived on the East Side of Providence for years, cited changing family circumstances as the reason for backing out. “My wife got a new job that requires her to commute to Cambridge, about a two-hour commute. We had a new baby, and the house in Cranston ended up needing a lot more work than we expected,” he explained during a taping of WPRI 12’s Newsmakers. While it’s not a legal requirement for members of Congress to live in their districts, Magaziner’s decision is a sharp departure from the pledge he made to voters. He had promised to move into a home his family purchased in Cranston, and even reaffirmed the commitment last October after a Target 12 investigation revealed he was still living in Providence—making it clear his vote didn’t count in the district he represents. Republican Party Chairman Joe Powers wasted no time in calling out Magaziner’s broken promise. “This is just another example of politicians saying one thing to get elected and doing the opposite once in office. It’s not leadership; it’s lip service,” Powers said. “Magaziner made a promise, and now he’s casually breaking it, hoping no one will notice.” While Magaziner is not legally required to live in the district, his decision raises questions about his priorities. “Seth may not be required to live in District 2, but it’s clear he never intended to,” Powers added. “That says everything about where his loyalty lies—more with political convenience than with the people he represents.” #sethmagaziner #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
Rhode Island’s congressional delegation is makin Rhode Island’s congressional delegation is making a renewed push to give the state’s fishermen a voice in federal fishery management decisions. Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse, along with Representatives Seth Magaziner and Gabe Amo, have reintroduced the Rhode Island Fishermen’s Fairness Act (S.1152/H.R.2375). The bill would grant Rhode Island voting representation on the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC), which oversees regulations for key commercial fish stocks—including squid, one of the Ocean State’s most valuable catches. Despite leading all Atlantic states in squid landings with more than 30.7 million pounds harvested in 2023, Rhode Island does not currently have a seat on the council. The MAFMC, which sets policies for waters off the Mid-Atlantic coast, consists of 21 voting members from seven states—but Rhode Island isn’t one of them. “Every decision this council makes affects our fishermen and Rhode Island’s economy,” said Reed, who has championed the issue for nearly two decades. Whitehouse added that climate change is pushing fish northward, increasing the importance of Rhode Island’s role in fisheries management. The state’s commercial fishing industry plays a vital role in the local economy. In 2023, Rhode Island’s fishing ports brought in nearly $82 million worth of seafood, while the industry supported more than 9,300 jobs and contributed $872 million to the economy in 2022. The legislation would add two Rhode Island representatives to the MAFMC, increasing its voting members to 23. One seat would be held by the state’s top fishery official, while the other would be appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce based on the governor’s recommendation. Lawmakers say the change is necessary to ensure Rhode Island’s fishermen have a say in decisions that directly impact their livelihoods. #rhodeisland #fishing #newportbuzz
