Join the Massachusetts Bar Association for its 2025 Annual Dinner on Thursday, May 8, and hear a keynote address by U.S. Sen. Edward J. Markey. Individual tickets and five different sponsorship opportunities are available for the event, which will take place at 5:30 p.m. at the Westin Boston Seaport District, 425 Summer St., Boston. 

About the keynote speaker

Markey has served as a U.S. senator for Massachusetts since 2013. Prior to serving as a U.S. senator, he served for a remarkable 37 years in the U.S. House of Representatives. 
 
Markey is national leader on energy, environmental protection and telecommunications policy; has a prolific legislative record on major issues across the policy spectrum; and has a deep commitment to improving the lives of the people of Massachusetts and our country.
 
He is the Senate co-author of the Green New Deal resolution with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 10-year mobilization to transform our economy and democracy, all while addressing climate change and creating millions of new jobs. He is the House author of the 2007 fuel economy law, one of the most impactful global warming reduction policies in our history. He is the author of the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1987, which stopped the construction of hundreds of coal-fired plants.  
 
Markey was the author of the three major telecommunications bills in the 1990s that now govern much of our nation’s telephone, broadcasting, cable television, wireless and broadband communications systems. He has been instrumental in breaking up anti-consumer, anti-innovative monopolies in electricity, long-distance and local telephone service, cable television and international satellite services.
 
He is also the author of some of the most important Wall Street reform laws since the Great Depression, including statutes that strengthened penalties against insider trading, improved federal oversight over the stock and futures markets, and reformed regulation of the government securities market.
 
Since arriving in the Senate in 2013, Markey has been involved in the selection, nomination and confirmation of several judges to the Massachusetts federal district court and the First Circuit.
 
Whether the issue is climate change, clean energy, safeguarding privacy, nuclear non-proliferation, investor protection or preserving an open internet that spurs competition and consumer choice, Markey stands up for the priorities and values of Massachusetts. 
 
Hailing from Malden, he graduated from Boston College (B.A., 1968) and Boston College Law School (J.D., 1972).
