Markey wins Massachusetts Democrats’ endorsement as Moulton clears ballot hurdle in Senate race

excerpts:

“You have a choice, you have to decide what the future looks like and what you’re going to demand,” Markey said Saturday in front of more than 4,000 delegates.

Markey won nearly 73% of the delegates’ support, while Moulton won nearly 27% of the vote. Massachusetts Democratic Party rules require statewide candidates to get at least 15% of delegate support to appear on primary ballots.

Markey, instead, took a more critical approach by attacking Moulton’s previous comments about transgender kids and accepting corporate PAC money.

“Massachusetts deserves better than a senator who scapegoats trans kids,” Markey said to loud cheers.

In 2024, Moulton caught flak from some members of his party for saying he didn’t want his daughters playing in sports against transgender girls. Critics said Moulton echoed Trump’s talking points against allowing transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports.

Moulton has since said his intent with that statement “was to point out that, as a party, we need to be willing to have difficult conversations.”

Moulton, who enlisted in the Marines after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and served four tours of duty in Iraq, was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2014. He briefly launched a 2020 presidential campaign, but he dropped that bid after a few months.

Markey served as a Massachusetts congressman for nearly 40 years before winning the Senate seat in 2013. He fended off a challenge in 2020 from Rep. Joe Kennedy III in the Senate primary by turning to his progressive allies to overcome a challenge from a younger rival from America’s most famous political family.

The Massachusetts primary is Sept. 1.

Thank you for reaching out to me about the Fix Our Forests Act (H.R. 471). It was good to hear from you on this issue.

The Fix Our Forests Act (H.R. 471) was introduced by Representative Bruce Westerman on January 16, 2025. On January 23, 2025, the House voted to pass this legislation on a vote of 279-141. On October 21, 2025, the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition voted to advance the legislation on a vote of 18-5. I will keep your concerns in mind should the bill be taken up by the full body of the Senate.

I share your concerns about protecting our public lands and promoting conservation. It is critical that we defend key environmental rules from being repealed or undermined through congressional and executive action. It is critical that we defend key environmental rules from being repealed or undermined through congressional and executive action. That’s why I am a proud cosponsor of the Roadless Area Conservation Act (S. 2042), which would preserve our nation’s public lands by protecting certain roadless areas within the National Forest System.

In the Senate, I have staunchly fought to defend the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and to ensure that the federal government understands the true impacts of the projects in which it has a stake. I am also a strong supporter of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which is one of the most successful laws in our nation's history. It offers vital protections to imperiled wildlife.

Throughout my career in Congress, I have also fought for policies that protect forests and public lands. For Fiscal Year 2027, I joined a letter urging the Senate Appropriations Committee to provide increased funding and support for the Lacey Act, which fights illegal deforestation practices, and for the Legacy Roads and Trails Program to make sure our public lands can be enjoyed responsibly.

In the 118th Congress, I was proud to cosponsor the Fostering Overseas Rule of law and Environmentally Sound Trade (FOREST) Act, which seeks to combat illegal deforestation by prohibiting the importation of products made of commodities originating from illegally deforested land. On June 8, 2023, I was awarded the New England Forestry Foundation’s Forest Champion for my support of sustainable and climate-smart forestry, conservation, and stewardship of forest lands across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the New England region.

I will continue to fight for legislation and other actions that protect our public lands and natural resources across the United States and maintain bedrock environmental laws like NEPA.

Thank you again for reaching out to me about this issue. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact my office. To sign up for my newsletter, visit http://www.markey.senate.gov/newsletter. You can also follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
