Today, the League of Conservation Voters released a report giving Ed Markey a perfect score on his environmental votes in 2009 and praise for his work on the Waxman- Markey bill. Read the Scorecard.

The Markey Committee has begun to collect nomination signatures to get Ed back on the ballot for the September primary. Massachusetts Democratic candidates for U.S. Congress are required to submit at least 2,000 signatures from registered Democrat and Independent voters in their district in order to qualify for the ballot. To be on the safe side, we try to collect 4,000.

We can’t do this without the help of volunteers like you!  Please help Ed by contacting Kate Bazinsky with The Markey Committee at 781-395-3880 This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it to learn more about the signature drive, volunteer or request nomination sheets. Thanks for your support!

“A little more than a year ago, our nation was plunged into the worst economic recession since the Great Depression,” said Markey. “Urgent action was needed to respond to this crisis. That is why Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and why President Obama signed this landmark bill into law one year ago today."

"A year later, the Recovery Act is working to keep cops on the beat, teachers in the classroom and put people back to work building roads, bridges and weatherizing our homes and businesses. All told, the Recovery Act has created or saved over 2 million jobs here in Massachusetts and across the country.”
