BREAKING -- Seth Magaziner handily wins Rhode Island House primary, setting stage for showdown with Allan Fung
Fung has been widely seen as one of the fiercest Republican competitors to the Democratic district in decades, threatening to shatter the party's nearly three-decade lock on the state's two congressional seats. Recognizing the threat, Magaziner had already begun shifting gears to sharpen his line of attack against Fung before clearing his primary.Both Magaziner and Fung were front-runners in their respective primaries to capture the seat currently held by outgoing Rep. Jim Langevin .
Throughout his primary battle, Magaziner weathered heat from his contenders, some of whom sought to caricature him as a carpetbagger. He lived in Providence, which is located in the 1st Congressional District, and rented a house near Edgewood in the city of Cranston to run in the 2nd District, which covers southern and western Rhode Island.
Ironically, Fung's political career got its start with a snub from Democrats. Agitated with the fiscal state of affairs in Cranston in the early 2000s, he sought a seat on the Cranston City Council but was cast aside by the Democrats, who told him to wait his turn. He swapped parties instead and quickly worked his way up the political ranks.
