Congratulations to Ed Markey who has won the primary and will take on Republican Gabriel Gomez for the June 25, general election.
What are some of the reasons that we feel Markey deserves your consideration?
– He is consistently cited as a leading voice in protecting the environment and addressing global warming.
– Markey has for decades been a strong advocate for women’s rights and right to choose.
– Markey supports universal health care and has consistently voted in support.
– He supports a ban on assault weapons, and will stand up to interest groups like the NRA. He will fight for background checks on all gun sales, ending the notorious “gun show” loophole.
Markey has been a congressman for many decades. He understands Washington and consensus building. I have known him since the 1970’s. Many of us have been disappointed in lifelong politicians and have found them jaded by the process and their decisions guided by outside influences. Ed Markey has been an outstanding exception to the rule. He has shown that he is not swayed by special interests, but sticks to his convictions.
Ed Markey has one of the strongest environmental records in Congress. He is advancing legislation on global climate change (and who on Plum Island has any more doubts about that?), clean energy and green-tech job.
In the Senate, Ed Markey will be a passionate voice to ensure equal rights for all Americans, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity. He has fought aggressively for marriage equality.
Investing in opportunity in America is a key to our future. Ed supports an innovation economy to expand opportunity to entrepreneurs, innovators, educators, scientists and workers all across the Country.
