MALDEN, Mass. — When incumbent Senator Ed Markey faced a surprising primary challenge, and that challenger just so happened to be named Kennedy, many people wrote Markey off. But then the pandemic hit. The campaign was turned upside down for both candidates. And, through a surging digital strategy, Markey says he’s ready to go to the finish line.
Markey’s social media campaign has fueled many young activists. He believes it’s the younger generations who connect the most with his priorities, such as the Green New Deal.
