The endorsers include Everett Mayor Robert Van Campen, Everett City Council President Stephanie Smith, and City Councillors Vivian Nguyen and Katy Rogers. They join State Senator Sal DiDomenico and State Representative Joe McGonagle both of whom represent Everett on Beacon Hill and have previously endorsed Senator Markey. The leaders cited Senator Markey’s work to restore federal climate funding for the Island End River Coastal Flood Resilience Project, his partnership with the city, and his record of delivering federal funds for Everett. β€œWhen Everett needs a federal partner, Senator Markey picks up the phone and delivers,” said Everett Mayor Robert Van Campen. β€œSenator Markey stands with working families and he never forgets the immigrant families and students of color who make communities like Everett strong. From fighting for our public schools to fighting for restoration of federal climate funding for flood resiliency on the Island End River, Senator Markey understands that these investments are about protecting our people, our schools, our neighborhoods, and our future. Everett has a fighter in Ed Markey, and I am proud to support his re-election.” β€œEverett has worked for nearly a decade on the Island End River Coastal Flood Resilience Project because protecting our neighborhoods from catastrophic flooding is not optional – it is essential,” said State Senator Sal DiDomenico. β€œWhen Donald Trump tried to cancel the federal climate funding that Everett and Chelsea were counting on, Senator Markey fought back. He walked the site with us, took the fight to the Senate floor, and has been our federal voice in the fight to restore this critical investment. Senator Markey understands that climate resilience is about protecting working-class communities – our homes, our schools, our workers, and our future. Communities like Everett need a fighter in the Senate, and that fighter is Ed Markey.” β€œAs a small business owner, I know that Everett’s local economy is built by people who work hard, take risks, create jobs, and keep our neighborhoods thriving,” said State Representative Joe McGonagle. β€œAs Ranking Member of the Senate Small Business Committee, Senator Ed Markey is fighting every day to help small businesses succeed and working families get ahead.
