We need Joe Kennedy III in the

United States Senate

He took on then-Speaker Paul Ryan, labeling the Republicans' efforts to strip healthcare from millions of Americans as an "act of malice."

He stood at the US/Mexico border days after news of family separation broke, proclaiming to the crowd that "humanity does not require a green card."

"Climate change is real and it is here... We can cower and pretend it doesn’t exist or we can begin to fight for our environment, our world, our future and our present. In the most powerful, most innovative nation on earth, that choice shouldn’t be hard."

- Joe Kennedy III

From the House floor, Joe has implored lawmakers to take action on gun violence, and has held up Massachusetts as an example for sensible gun laws. He rejects stigmatizing and false narratives that gun violence is based on mental health difficulties, or that arming teachers will make our children safe. He knows that, "This is personal."

He understands the critical contributions of vocational and technical professions to our local businesses. He works hard to promote this much needed training, whether at Diman Regional Voc-Tech High School in Fall River, MA, or across the country.

He has led efforts to protect transgender Americans and the LGBTQ+ community from discrimination and hate, most recently introducing the "Do No Harm" Act.

He has championed equal pay for equal work, the preservation of a woman's right to choose, and the courage of survivors speaking out in the #MeToo movement.

He has framed the national economic debate with his platform of "moral capitalism," designed to tackle "the mounting injustice of our modern economy."

Throughout his national efforts, he has never forgotten his Massachusetts constituents. He has remained focused on the experiences of his home state's communities and families, fighting for community health centers, legal aid, mental health care, vocational education, and immigrant families.

Over the last several years, Congressman Kennedy has broken through the partisan noise with moral clarity.

We think Congressman Kennedy should run for the United States Senate not simply to oppose any person or because his last name is Kennedy. The Congressman should run because our country is vulnerable, and he has demonstrated that he has the energy, courage, and progressive ideas to fight for the Commonwealth and put our nation on a more just course.
