Edward John Markey (born July 11 1946), American politician, has been a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives since 1976, representing the 7th District of Massachusetts (map). He was born in Malden, Massachusetts, was educated at Boston College, served in the United States Army Reserve, and was a lawyer and member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives before entering the House. In 2004 he announced that he would run for John Kerry's seat in the United States Senate if Kerry were to be elected President of the United States. Kerry, however, lost the election, and Markey will continue to serve in the House, to which he was reelected easily in 2004 over Republican Ken Chase and independent Jim Hall by a margin of 74%-21%-5%.
