Magaziner Statement on New Leadership in the RI House of Representatives

"I am grateful for Speaker Joe Shekarchi's incredible leadership in the House of Representatives, and wish him the very best as he pursues his next chapter of service. Joe was always a collaborative leader, who brought people together to make progress on economic development, housing, and quality of life for Rhode Islanders. I have enjoyed working with him and am proud to call him a friend.

I also congratulate my good friends Chris Blazejewski and Katherine Kazarian as they assume their new leadership roles as Speaker and Majority Leader in the House. Chris and Katherine both have the intelligence, compassion, and energy to lead, and will be champions for working people across our state. I am excited to work with them to move Rhode Island forward."
