I'm grateful for the chance to share my vision on Channel 12, and I'm excited to tell Rhode Island's 2nd District why I believe I'm the right leader for our community. For too long, Rhode Islanders have been overlooked. My approach is centered around practical, common-sense leadership that prioritizes our families, small businesses, and taxpayers over special interests and partisan extremes. As a resident who's raised my family and built my oral surgery practice here, I'm committed to being a steady, results-driven voice in Congress. I'm dedicated to upholding the Constitution and protecting individual liberties. In this primary, the choice is clear: practical leadership rooted in our community's values or more of the same partisan politics. Let's bring a new voice to Washington that truly represents Rhode Island.

Back then, Rhode Island was a manufacturing powerhouse the jewelry capital of the world, textiles, tools, boats. Wages were solid, the middle class was thriving, kids could afford a house on one income, and our streets were safe. We had pride in our heritage Italian, Irish, Portuguese, French-Canadian without apology. Government stayed out of the way, taxes were manageable, and you were judged by your work, not your politics. Today? Decades of one-party Democratic rule turned that into the highest property taxes in New England, failing schools that trap kids, businesses fleeing, and young families moving out. That’s not progress that’s decline. The “new school” approach of endless spending, identity politics, and big-government control has left us worse off in every measurable way.

I’m running because Rhode Island deserves better than automatic Democratic victories and zero accountability. Accepting defeat before the fight even starts is exactly how we stay stuck. I’m in this to win, to give voters a real alternative, and to make our voices heard.If you’re tired of the status quo, stand with me.

I spent over 35 years as a surgeon. I've seen what works and what doesn't. And right now, Washington isn't working for Rhode Islanders.
I'm not going to be extremely far right. I'm not going to be extremely far left. I'm going to be far normal which is where my constituents are.
Healthcare costs that crush families. A national debt our kids will inherit. Social Security and Medicare that need real solutions not political games. These aren't Republican problems or Democrat problems. They're our problems.
Fixing them will take someone willing to work across the aisle, put people over party, and never lose sight of who they actually work for.

Let's talk about Seth Magaziner's real record on police. This week he posted that he "proudly secured" $791,000 for West Warwick PD to buy new vehicles. He wants credit. Let's look at the full picture.
First. that $791,000.
That's not Seth writing a check. That's YOUR tax dollars being routed through Washington and handed back with his name on it right before an election. No mention of the cost. No mention of the debt. Just a photo op.
Now — his actual record.
In 2020, Seth Magaziner marched at a protest where demonstrators were carrying "Defund the Police" signs. It was photographed and reported by WPRI, the Boston Globe, and NBC10. His opponent Allan Fung confronted him about it in three separate debates and cited a tweet where Magaziner called it an honor to march. Magaziner's defense? "I just walked by a sign I disagreed with."
A picture says a thousand words.
Then in April 2023 — now a sitting Congressman — Magaziner voted against a bill to block Washington D.C.'s anti-police law. That law:
Stripped officers of crowd control tools
Undermined the ability to conduct consent searches
Helped drive over 1,200 police officers out of the D.C. Metro Police Department
Congress passed the bill anyway, 229 to 189, with bipartisan support. Seth Magaziner was on the wrong side.
So let's be clear:
In 2020 he marched with defund activists.
In 2023 he voted to protect anti-police legislation.
In 2026 he's handing out SUVs and calling himself a police supporter.
That's not backing the blue. That's an election year flip flop and Rhode Islanders deserve better.

@KateFangman please point me to the dishonest parts

[Dr Stephen Skoly - RI CD-2 Candidate @DocSkoly]

Congressman Seth Magaziner announced another $750,000 federal grant and claimed he is fighting to lower costs. Seth’s solution is always more federal spending. The results tell a different story.
Rhode Islanders deserve a Congressman who will be honest about what’s working and what isn’t and who will fight for real solutions that lower costs instead of just announcing more spending.

[Dr Stephen Skoly - RI CD-2 Candidate @DocSkoly]

Rhode Island parents deserve courage, not political weakness.
The PROTECT Kids Act passed the House 217 to 198. It requires parental consent before schools make major changes involving a child’s records or sex based accommodations.
Seth Magaziner voted NO.

Today, we pause as one nation to honor the fallen, comfort their families, and remember that liberty survives only because some were willing to give everything.

[Dr Stephen Skoly - RI CD-2 Candidate @DocSkoly]

Stephen T. Skoly is a strong alternative to Seth Magaziner. Real leadership. Common sense. Rhode Island first. Less Washington politics. More Rhode Island results

Voters and candidates alike deserve transparency. Today, I announced I will not participate in an upcoming candidate forum on June 9th after organizers publicly advertised it as a debate, misrepresenting the meet-and-greet format we originally agreed to. 🧵
