Seth Magaziner

US House Rhode Island — 2nd District Democrat
Incumbent2024
Representative Seth Magaziner knows that ending gun violence shouldn’t be a partisan issue—and in Congress, he’s worked across the aisle to pass the kinds of gun safety reforms needed to keep his constituents safe from harm. 

In his previous role as Rhode Island State Treasurer, Representative Magaziner developed a strong record of pushing for commonsense measures to prevent senseless violence and used his influence over the state pension fund to divest the system from any company that makes assault-style weapons for civilian purchase. He also took action against Mastercard to crack down on internet sales of ghost gun parts, which have become a growing threat in his state over the last few years. Now he’s fighting to continue this work in Washington DC, where he has advocated for bipartisan solutions to America’s epidemic of gun violence, including passing universal background checks, limiting magazine capacities, implementing extreme risk laws to keep guns out of the hands of those who pose a danger to the public, and banning deadly assault weapons. Representative Magaziner was also proud to introduce the Keeping Gun Dealers Honest Act in June 2023, which aims to strengthen accountability measures for rogue gun dealers who engage in practices such as selling guns “off the books,” falsifying records, and providing guns to straw purchasers, gun traffickers, and other dangerous individuals.

Time and again, Representative Magaziner has shown the people of his state that he will do everything in his power to save lives. Rhode Islanders deserve a champion in Washington DC who will fight to protect the lives of children and families from Cranston to Westerly. Voters in the Second District have a real chance to hold this must-win seat in November and retake a gun safety majority in the House—and they must do everything in their power to ensure that Representative Seth Magaziner remains their voice in DC come 2025. With him in office, we know that real progress in the fight to end gun violence is possible.

We are proud to endorse Seth Magaziner for the US House of Representatives.
