EDWARD J. MARKEY Chairman, House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming 7th Congressional District (D-Mass) "Reclaiming U.S. Leadership on Global Warming” TODAY at 5:00 pm Harvard University Yenching Auditorium 2 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, MA First elected to Congress in 1976, Edward J. Markey has constructed an extraordinary legislative record—helping to shape more than 20 years of telecommunications policy while championing consumer rights, health reform, the elimination of large monopolies, the conservation of environmental resources, the reduction of nuclear threats and the strengthening of our homeland security. He continues to be one of the most articulate and informed voices in Congress concerning both energy and environmental policy. Rep. Edward Markey was appointed by Speaker Pelosi as Chairman of the new Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming at the beginning of the 110th Congress. Rep. Markey has long been active on energy and environmental issues, reflecting his commitment to maintaining the quality of life and economic opportunity in New England. The president of the League of Conservation Voters has said of the chairman "there is no greater environmental champion in Congress than Ed Markey as we fight to head off the looming catastrophe of climate change."
