Rep. Ed Markey released the following statement today after receiving the endorsement of the Massachusetts Service Employees International Union (SEIU):

“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the SEIU State Council and its 85,000 members. SEIU is at the heart of the labor movement, fighting tirelessly to improve the lives of workers in Massachusetts and throughout the country. I have spent three decades standing up for working families and advocating for good jobs, fair wages, and quality and affordable health care. I want to bring this fight for working men and women to the Senate, and I look forward to working with SEIU to build a future that makes the American Dream achievable for all.”
