The Markey campaign is spreading misinformation online about Joe. They are responding to Joe’s fact-based critique of the Senator’s record with false and negative attacks.

We need your help to fight back with a positive message and set the record straight, will you chip in $3 or $25 to raise $5,850.00 into our Online Rapid Response Fund before midnight tonight?

Senator Markey’s attacks on Joe of “politicizing a crisis” and “playing politics with the coronavirus to try and further his career” are disingenuous, disheartening ⁠— and wrong. 

Two months ago today, when a state of emergency was declared in Massachusetts, Joe suspended campaign operations to focus exclusively on this crisis. Senator Markey did not. 

We turned our email fundraising list into a charity drive, raising nearly $100,000 for those suffering and those fighting on the frontlines. We leveraged our social media channels and website to provide important information about COVID-19 and held daily live streams to keep everyone connected and informed. Our organizing team has been doing phone banks across the state to check in on vulnerable residents and help seniors in need. 

Joe drove back and forth to D.C. twice to ensure he represented his district’s voice as the House fought to provide coronavirus relief. And Joe showed up virtually and in-person in Chelsea and Brockton to help the communities hit the hardest — long before the T.V. cameras arrived. 

Senator Markey is running on his record. After 47 years in office, it’s fair to critique votes he has taken and choices he has made that weren’t good for Massachusetts, from the Iraq War to NAFTA. If that’s all it takes for the Markey team to put out false attacks on Joe ⁠— then we are worried they are going to be even more negative moving forward ⁠— and that is not the kind of campaign Massachusetts wants. 

If you can help us respond with a positive message before midnight tonight, please chip in $3 or $25 here to show the Markey campaign that we won’t let these false attacks on Joe go unanswered to Massachusetts voters. 

Be well. Stay safe. Let’s keep fighting.
