MEDIA ADVISORY: Magaziner to Host Rhode Island Ethics Watchdogs, Advocates in Push to Ban Congressional Stock Trading

U.S. Representative Seth Magaziner (RI-02) will host a press conference alongside Rhode Island government ethics watchdogs

On Wednesday, February 19, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. ET, U.S. Representative Seth Magaziner (RI-02) will host a press conference alongside Rhode Island government ethics watchdogs and advocates to discuss the introduction of his bipartisan bill to ban Members of Congress from trading individual stocks.

Magaziner’s Transparent Representation Upholding Service and Trust (TRUST) in Congress Act seeks to rebuild public trust by cracking down on insider trading by elected officials. The bill, introduced alongside Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21), requires Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children to sell their individual stocks or place them in a blind trust while in office—ensuring they can’t profit from their position in government.

Since its initial introduction in 2020 by now retired Rep. Abigail Spanberger (VA-07), the TRUST in Congress Act has gained bipartisan support as momentum grows to ban congressional stock trading. During the press conference, Magaziner and other speakers will discuss the bill’s significance, its current status, and why it is good for Rhode Island.

Christine Stenning, League of Women Voters of Newport County President & League of Women Voters Rhode Island State Board Member

Magaziner, Reed to Join RI Education Leaders for Urgent Press Conference on Trump’s Threats to the Department of Education
2025-02-17 10:00 - 10:30 | NEARI, 99 W Hill Dr, Cranston, RI, United States
On Monday, Feb. 17, at 10:00 a.m. ET, U.S. Rep. Seth Magaziner (RI-02) and U.S. Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) will hold a press conference with Rhode Island education leaders to address the devastating impacts of proposed cuts to the U.S. Department of Education on Rhode Island communities.

The event follows the confirmation hearing of Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education and comes amid growing concerns about the administration’s plans to abolish the department. Wednesday, President Trump commented that he’d like the department closed ‘immediately’. And reports indicate that officials from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have already accessed Education Department databases, identifying employees for dismissal and canceling federal contracts.

During the press event, lawmakers and education leaders will outline the real-life consequences that the proposed dismantling of the department would have on Rhode Island students, parents, teachers, public K-12 schools and local colleges & universities.

House Senate oversight committees to hear presentation on status of Washington Bridge
2025-02-13 15:00 - 17:00 | Rhode Island State House, 82 Smith St, Providence, RI, United States
Room 35 Basement Level
The westbound span of the Washington Bridge was closed on Dec. 11, 2023, after the Department of Transportation announced the critical failure of some original bridge components.
The House Oversight Committee is chaired by Rep. Patricia A. Serpa (D-Dist. 27, West Warwick, Coventry, Warwick). The Senate Rules, Government Ethics and Oversight Committee is chaired by Sen. Mark McKenney (D-Dist. 30, Warwick).
“The closing of the westbound side of the Washington Bridge has been a major disruption, especially to the lives of thousands of Rhode Islanders who live or work in the East Bay, and has negatively impacted many businesses. Our Oversight Committees need answers, particularly in addressing concerns about timelines, costs and funding for the demolition and reconstruction projects. The process is moving more slowly than many of us anticipated and expected, and we look forward to learning more details from Director Alviti,” said Chairwoman Serpa and Chairman McKenney

Handshake Initiative RI: Vartan Gregorian Elementary
2025-02-13 08:00 - 10:00 | Vartan Gregorian Elementary, 455 Wickenden St, Providence, RI, United States
Good day, In 2025 we shall continue our journey to reach every student in RI, one handshake or high five at a time! Col. Anthony Roberson’s Handshake Initiative RI is a non-partisan, all school involved community program. We welcome all faculty, parents, professionals, community leaders/ members by invite only. Please feel free to invite colleagues and community members to join us!
The address for Vartan Gregorian Elementary is 455 Wickenden St. The best location for parking is either street parking (Wickenden St or East St) or in the back of the school building (drive down East St. to access the back parking lot). I would encourage all participants to arrive at the school between 8:35-8:45 AM as we will need all visitors to sign into the building. Our arrival time is from 8:50- 9:05 AM.
Students enter the building from two locations: The front door (walkers) and the East St. doors (bus students). All students walk down the hallways to enter the cafeteria or gymnasium. My suggestion would be to have participants line up in the hallway and greet students closer to the cafeteria entrance.
