As a Newton City Councilor-elect and a Millennial environmentalist, I'm proud to join my friends in the Sunrise Movement in endorsing Senator Ed Markey for re-election. When other elected officials refused to act on climate change, Ed Markey was front and center fighting for us. He has been right on all the issues, and I have been proud to call him my United States Senator.

When I moved back home after college, Markey was the first person I knocked doors for, during the 2013 summer special election, and I'm ready to knock doors for him again next year.
