Markey (D-MA): "In this race, justice was on the ballot, health care justice. That's Medicare For All and universal health care."
Markey (D-MA): "Racial justice, so we can confront our history, make reparations, and rout out the systemic racism that keeps us from achieving the promise of liberty and justice for everyone. Today and every day, we say Black Lives Matter. Black voices matter."
Markey:"Environmental justice,that's the Green New Deal. The one issue combating the climate crisis which defines our future. Every other problem is linked to it..This is a matter of life & death.The very future of our civilization depends upon it..We must pass a Green New Deal."
Markey (D-MA) on campaign issues: "We took unapologetically progressive stances on all of them. We never blinked. We didn't bend. We made it clear that we'd rather lose fighting as hard as we could for what we believe in than in finding the middle ground."
Markey (D-MA): "The progressive movement knows how to fight. We will not surrender."
