My tax returns

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend, this is simple. I released my tax returns this week. My opponent has not. I completed my required Senate ethics Financial Disclosures. My opponent has not. In fact, he has delayed filing his mandatory personal financial disclosure report and requested a…

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Hi, it’s Carole King 🎶, and I personally wrote this email. When Ed Markey was in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, he proposed a bill that the statehouse bosses didn’t like. After they showed their displeasure by having Ed’s desk thrown out into the hall, E…

A quick update on our progress

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend, it’s Cam, Ed Markey’s campaign manager. Yesterday, Ed reached out to let you know that our fundraising has fallen off a cliff this month. It’s really bad timing — we’re just two weeks from an absolutely critical and legally required FEC fundraising deadline. …

Right off a cliff

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend, I’ll keep this quick since I know it’s a Sunday with a big week ahead. Here’s the bad news: June is an FEC deadline month, and so far we are way behind where we hoped to be at the halfway point of the month. Honestly, our fundraising has fallen off a cliff…

Worth it

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend, If passing Medicare-for-All and ensuring that every American has the healthcare they need regardless of their income sounds worth it to you, chip in today. If abolishing ICE, holding federal agents accountable for wrongdoing, and creating a safe, humane, a…

Trillionaire

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend, in the same country where Elon Musk just became humanity’s first Trillionaire, 750,000 people will sleep without a roof over their head tonight. In an economy where Elon Musk can watch his wealth explode by simply sitting back and gaming the system, many regu…

An update on Iran?

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend, months have now passed since Trump launched his utterly stupid and needless war with Iran. Thousands have died, global supply chains have been disrupted, and the cost of everything from gas to groceries has skyrocketed for regular Americans. And what good has…

Ohio

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend — In addition to winning our race here in Massachusetts, I’m committed to working with fellow Democrats and progressives across the country to elect a Senate majority that can stop Trump’s extreme agenda in its tracks. That’s why I’m asking you today: Will you…

This is legally required →

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend — You know by now that I like to be totally honest about our fundraising when I send you these emails. So, here’s the truth: June 30th is our next FEC deadline of the election year, which means that at the end of the month we’re legally required to report o…

Birds

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend — As silly as it feels to fact check someone who is as prolific of a liar as Trump, we’re going to set this straight. Windmills are one of the safest ways to produce energy for birds and all animals. One study found that for every single bird killed by a wind …

This is a big difference between Ed and his opponent

[ [link removed] ][IMG] This is a big difference between Ed and his opponent in this race, Friend. Ed doesn’t trade stocks, because he believes it’s unethical as a member of Congress. His opponent, however, has added millions to his personal wealth by trading stocks throughout his time in o…

I’m endlessly proud of this endorsement.

This should be a daily outrage

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend, we support Ed because we don’t need to wonder where he stands on the moral issues that matter most to our movement. When it comes to fighting for the working class, Ed has always understood that we can’t make real change in people’s lives without confronting …

A very tough call

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend, it’s Ed. After it became clear that our campaign is being consistently outraised by my challenger in the race for Senate, I met with my team to set the course of this campaign as we prepared to both fight for victory and continue to take on Donald Trump. W…

Trump can and should be impeached for this outright corruption and self-dealing.

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend, Trump’s $1.8 billion DOJ slush fund is disgusting, and Ed’s completely right: Trump can and should be impeached for this outright corruption and self-dealing. So here’s how we get it done: We fight every day between now and November, agitating against Trum…

Let me explain

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend, it’s Ed Markey. I hope you’ll hear me out. With Trump in the White House and the GOP in charge in Congress, everything our progressive movement stands for is under attack. He’s making corrupt deals left and right, driving up the cost of everything from gas…

Gas prices

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend, this headline is completely correct. Donald Trump made a deliberate choice to go to war with Iran, knowing full well what the consequences would be. Iran didn’t attack us. We weren’t in danger of being attacked. And there was no evidence to support Trump's…

$4,167,889

[ [link removed] ][IMG] $4,167,889. That’s how much Ed’s opponent raised between the start of this race and the most recent FEC deadline. It’s a lot more than we did. That puts us at a significant disadvantage. Their campaign can hire more staff, host more events, send more mailers, and …

Right now, Republicans are winning.

[ [link removed] ][IMG] Friend, I am not going to hold back here. Republicans launched a redistricting war this cycle, and right now they are winning. They’ve gerrymandered states like Texas to draw out Democratic house districts. Trump’s SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, paving the w…
