REPORT: Democrat Seth Magaziner is a Serial Free-Loader
Lying Democrat Seth Magaziner has repeatedly taken credit for bills he voted AGAINST, a new report found.
On multiple occasions, Magaziner bragged that he secured critical provisions for service members and Rhode Island workers, despite the fact that he voted against the bills.
“Out of touch Democrat Seth Magaziner is a serial free-loader. He wants to bow to the left to please his party bosses while also taking credit for work he didn’t do. Rhode Islanders won’t let him have his cake and eat it too.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole

Democrat Who Bragged About Securing Millions For District Voted Against Bill That Funded It

Democratic Rhode Island Rep. Seth Magaziner told his constituents that he secured tens of millions in federal funding for his district, but a vote tally reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation shows he voted against the measure.
Magaziner, a two-term lawmaker representing a Democratic-leaning district, took a victory lap in July after five of his amendments were incorporated into an annual House defense appropriations bill. However, the Rhode Island Democrat ultimately voted against the legislation containing the amendments, which provided for $39 million in coastal national defense priorities.
“I am pleased that this year’s defense appropriations bill includes key priorities for the U.S. Navy and for Rhode Island workers who support the country’s strong national defense,” Magaziner said in a press release announcing the federal funding. “I fought to include these amendments so Rhode Island can continue to lead in defense research, development, and innovation, making our country more secure.”
Magaziner did not disclose that he opposed the full-year defense appropriations bill on the House floor in July.

The National Republican Congressional Committee, House Republicans’ campaign arm, slammed Magaziner for taking credit for pieces of legislation that he voted against.
“Seth Magaziner is a complete and total fraud. Instead of putting partisan politics aside for the good of his constituents, Magaziner bowed to the left, and then had the audacity to lie about it,” NRCC spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole said. “Rhode Island deserves better.”
In June 2024, Magaziner also claimed credit for several amendments within a defense policy bill that he opposed.
“Today, Representative Seth Magaziner (RI-02) secured House passage of two amendments he authored in H.R.8070, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25),” Magaziner’s office said in a press release.
