Ed Markey for Re-Election to the US Senate
Ed Markey is a national leader on energy, environmental protection and telecommunications policy, demonstrating his deep commitment to improving the lives of the people of Massachusetts and our country.
That’s why Our Revolution wants to send Ed back to the US Senate to continue serving alongside Bernie Sanders to defend our democracy and fight for working families.
Whether the issue is climate change, clean energy, safeguarding privacy, nuclear non-proliferation, investor protection, or preserving an open Internet that spurs competition and consumer choice, Ed defends our progressive values and holds the powerful elites accountable.
Experience Matters
Elected to the Senate after a lengthy and distinguished career in the US House, Ed brings his energy and experience to fight for the people of Massachusetts.
In the House and Senate, Ed has:
- Co-sponsored the Medicare for All Act in the Senate
- Co-authored the landmark Waxman-Markey bill
- Lead the call to investigate the disastrous BP oil spill
- Been instrumental in breaking up telecommunications monopolies
- Introduced the Internet Freedom Preservation Act
- Authored of some of the most important Wall Street reform laws since the Great Depression
At a time when many corporate Democrats are openly declaring war on progressives, Ed is committed to a Democratic Party that addresses climate change and preserves our environment, defends the rights of consumers while expanding opportunity, and advocating for a national single-payer healthcare system that guarantees comprehensive, affordable care to every American.
The Stakes in This Race
Massachusetts is facing critical challenges that demand bold and trusted leadership.
Throughout his tenure in Congress, Ed has focused on confronting the climate crisis, lowering the cost of housing and utilities, expanding access to healthcare, and protecting our communities.
Ed has secured hundreds of millions in direct federal investments to protect and support communities across Massachusetts— from Boston to Worcester to Springfield to the Cape and Islands. Through congressionally directed spending and key infrastructure legislation, he delivers vital resources directly to the Commonwealth’s municipalities.
Ed has delivered for his community, but this race is about so much more than that.
It’s about whether the Democratic Party will continue moving toward a bold, unapologetically progressive vision that takes on concentrated wealth and corporate power — or will the elites and corporate apologists drag our party back toward the policies that have failed working people for decades.
Ed Markey has taken a stand.
And Our Revolution is proud to stand with him.
When we organize, we win.
