Remember to Vote Tuesday!
Posted on | April 29, 2013 | No Comments
Please remember to ‘vote early and vote often‘ in tomorrow’s important primary! Tuesday’s special election will probably have a quite low turnout. So your vote will count even more that usual.
Consider voting for Ed Markey, but please Vote.
If you can call a couple of friends to remind them to vote, that would be terrific!
Thanks
Markey outworks Lynch in Congress
Posted on | April 15, 2013 | No Comments
THE FUNDAMENTAL issue in the Senate Democratic primary is almost universally ignored: which candidate is most likely to do the job if elected.
According to the Library of Congress website, Stephen Lynch sponsored 17 bills in the 111th Congress, while Edward Markey introduced 46. In the 112th, Lynch sponsored 6 bills, but Markey sponsored 84. In the current Congress, the pattern continues — Lynch proposing 7 bills, Markey 17.
All members of Congress have similar basic workloads. But Markey is putting more into the job and generating more ideas than Lynch.
Whatever ideas the candidates espouse, they won’t go forward unless the would-be senator does the legwork to make them happen.

Clean Water Action endorses Ed Markey
Posted on | March 21, 2013 | No Comments
Today, Clean Water Action endorsed Representative Ed Markey in the United States Senate race in Massachusetts , saying that he has been a tireless leader in promoting clean energy investments and environmental protection.
Elizabeth Saunders, Clean Water Action’s Massachusetts State Director commented that “Over Rep. Markey’s decades of service, he has been at the forefront of every major movement to protect our drinking water, air quality and community health and safety.” A short list of his leadership efforts include leading the drive for a smart response to the climate crisis, repeatedly 
protecting the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts from industry attacks, leading efforts to prevent harm to our health from toxic chemicals ranging from banning the notorious chemical bisphenol A (BPA) to phasing out dangerous chemicals in personal care products, being the most effective and persistent watchdog of nuclear safety issues and more.
“Clean Water Action is proud to endorse Ed Markey for the U.S. Senate,” said Cindy Luppi, New England Director. “As a longtime constituent of his, I know firsthand that he is a perfect choice for Massachusetts ‘ next senator. It’s hard to imagine anyone more qualified, more effective or more committed to health, environment and community justice.”
Weston Dems Endorse Ed Markey
Posted on | February 19, 2013 | No Comments
The Weston Democratic Town Caucus
on February 10th voted overwhelmingly to endorse Ed Markey’s bid for the Senate seat left vacant when John Kerry became Secretary of State. Since 1976 Edward J. Markey has represented our district. Markey is the longest-serving member of both the Massachusetts and New England House delegations and the second longest-serving current member of Congress from New England.
Representative Markey is a national leader on energy and the environment, as the Ranking Member of the Natural Resources Committee. In addition to being a steward of our public lands, national parks, and oceans, Rep. Markey fought to create new jobs in American clean energy.
As well as his work on energy and environmental issues, Rep. Markey is a national leader on technology policy and consumer protection. He served for 20 years as Chair or Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, where he was the principal author of many of the laws now governing our nation’s telephone, broadcasting, cable television, wireless, and broadband communications systems.
Weston’s Dems feel Ed Markey is uniquely qualified to be our next U.S. Senator. Markey has also received the endorsement of Weston’s State Representative Alice Piesch and State Senator Mike Barrett, and John Kerry even before his confirmation by the Senate.
