Let me be very clear about something of critical importance. There is no leader currently in Congress that is more important to the cause of solving climate change than Senator Ed Markey.
After we defeat Donald Trump in November, we’re going to need powerful advocates in Congress to fight for the future that young people and working-class folks deserve. Markey has a track record of taking on those fights – no matter how hard they may look.
In Ed Markey, we see a leader dedicated to a broad philosophical concept: A Senator who believes in government living up to our social contract. Our nation should be improving the lives of our people, whether that’s health care, economic opportunity, racial justice, or climate change.
That’s the type of politics that will allow us to build a better future. But right now, Markey is facing off against the same type of establishment politics and political dynasty that has stymied progressive change. But together, we can overcome those obstacles.
Thanks for your time,
