Rep. Mary Peltola attended a luncheon in her honor on Monday at the invitation of Rhode Island Rep. Seth Magaziner, whose father was a close associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison in 2019, after being convicted for sex trafficking.
It was Rep. Seth Magaziner’s “First Annual Women’s Luncheon.”
Magaziner gave awards to a few of the other women invited to the luncheon, but Peltola was the featured honoree and named his “Woman of the Year.”
Magaziner is from a wealthy East Coast family heavily invested in Democrat politics. Ira Magaziner, Seth’s father, also a financier, repeatedly flew on Epstein’s private jets and his personal phone number and private email were said to be in Epstein’s “black book.”
After filing for governor in 2022, Seth Magaziner withdrew in January of 2022 and instead ran for Congress after Rep. James Langevin announced his retirement. His campaign focus was gun control, alternative energy, abortion rights, and mandatory Covid vaccination for all public employees.
Although Magaziner was a resident of the 1st congressional district when he ran for Congress, he rented a house in the 2nd congressional district after his opponent pointed out he didn’t even live in the district he sought to represent. He has been involved in Democratic politics since he was a college student at Brown University.
