Statement From The Seth Magaziner Campaign:
In response to today’s disastrous SCOTUS decision, Republican Allan Fung said: “Despite today’s SCOTUS decision, nothing will change here in Rhode Island after the 2019 codification of Roe protections,” neglecting to mention he opposed the 2019 law that codified Roe protections in Rhode Island state law.
General Treasurer and congressional candidate Seth Magaziner issued the following statement in reaction to Fung’s misleading remarks:
“Allan Fung has consistently shown that he will not stand up for RI women. And make no mistake: if the Republicans take control of Congress, they will pass a federal abortion ban that would override the state-level protections for reproductive choice that so many of us fought for.”

Magaziner your a sellout POS!
I will not support anyone that supports the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe vs Wade. Roe will be the primary issue that I base my vote on. Please understand I will work very hard to ensure candidates support women.
