Victor Mellor, the Florida businessman who took part in the Jan. 6, 2021, march to the U.S. Capitol to protest an election result he still does not believe – and who has traveled more recently at retired Army Gen. Michael Flynn’s side on his “Reawaken America” tour – has set his sights on a Rhode Island congressional seat.
The “likely” candidate for the 2nd Congressional District seat currently held by Democrat Seth Magaziner rented a modest house on Burnett Road in Warwick and registered to vote in Rhode Island on Oct. 9, according to city election officials.
