At long last, the campaign web site for Ed Markey has gone live! It's good, with a professionally done web video introducing Ed, and a host of the usual features of a campaign web site. Nice layout, and a whole passel of ways to volunteer for the campaign. Check it out, and help us elect the next great progressive senator from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts!
Over the last few weeks, we've gathered all of the signatures Ed need to get on the ballot. The Markey and Lynch campaigns have announced a grueling schedule of six debates between now and the April 30 primary, so hold on to your hats, here we go!
From the issues page at EdMarkey.com:
Ed is a passionate voice for the families and future of Massachusetts. From standing up for the middle class, to fighting the special interests, to creating jobs in the innovation economy, Ed always puts Massachusetts first.
Ed has authored and passed numerous bills, working in a bipartisan manner to improve the lives of the people in his district, Massachusetts and the nation. Described in the Almanac of American Politics as “one of the House’s most legislatively productive and creative members,” and by Politics in America as “a power player on climate change,” Ed has been a successful and productive legislator on a wide range of issues including national energy policy, the environment, promoting an economy that creates jobs in innovative telecommunications and clean energy industries, and consumer protection.
Because Ed represents both blue-collar towns like the one he grew up in, as well as high-tech areas, symbolized by the campuses of Harvard and M.I.T., he knows there are many ways to create jobs and provide opportunity for working families.
There's lots more - use the links and head on over there. This election is no shoe-in, we need to work hard to get Ed elected, please help any way you can!
