What they stand for
Magaziner has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Members of Congress should disclose financial conflictsMagaziner sponsored the TRUST in Congress Act (HR.396), which attracted 100 to 199 cosponsors, and the Restore Trust in Government Act (HR.6731), which drew 50 to 99 cosponsors. Both bills address financial disclosure and conflict-of-interest requirements for members of Congress, reflecting a legislative focus on transparency and accountability standards for federal elected officials.
- 02Workers should have access to paid time offMagaziner sponsored the PTO Act in two successive Congresses — HR.4763 and HR.7752 — both of which received between 50 and 99 cosponsors and were referred to committee. The bill's reintroduction indicates sustained legislative attention to establishing paid time off as a workplace standard under federal law.
- 03Federal assets should not be transferred improperlyMagaziner sponsored the Don't STEAL Act (HR.5048), introduced in committee and reintroduced across Congresses. The bill addresses the transfer or disposition of federal property and assets, reflecting legislative attention to protecting public resources from unauthorized or irregular conveyance.
- 04National Guard and Reserve members deserve student loan reliefMagaziner sponsored the National Guard and Reserve Student Loan Fairness Act (HR.4893), a reintroduced measure referred to committee. The bill would extend or equalize student loan benefits for National Guard and Reserve servicemembers, addressing disparities in existing federal student loan programs as they apply to non-active-duty military personnel.
- 05Coastal and fisheries policy merits federal legislative attentionMagaziner sponsored the New England Coastal Protection Act of 2025 (HR.2865) and the Rhode Island Fishermen's Fairness Act of 2025 (HR.2375), both reintroduced measures referred to committee. Together these bills address coastal environmental protection and equitable treatment of Rhode Island's commercial fishing industry under federal regulatory frameworks.
