Edward John Markey is the junior U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, a Democrat elected to the Senate in a 2013 special election to fill the seat vacated by John Kerry and re-elected to full terms in 2014 and 2020. Before the Senate, Markey represented Massachusetts's 7th (and earlier 5th) District in the U.S. House for nearly 37 years, from 1976 to 2013, making him one of the longest-serving members of the Massachusetts delegation in history. A Malden native and Boston College Law graduate, he is a leading Senate voice on climate policy and was the Senate co-author with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of the original Green New Deal resolution. In the 119th Congress, Markey serves as Ranking Member of the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee and sits on Commerce, Environment and Public Works, and Health Education Labor and Pensions. He has focused on telecommunications and internet policy, children's online privacy, nuclear non-proliferation, and offshore wind development.
