A graduate of Boston College School of Law, Edward Markey was elected to the Congress in 1976 from the seventh district of Massachusetts. Since his election to the Congress, he has risen steadily in the ranks of its committee structure. In 1987 Representative Markey took over the chairmanship of the Telecommunications and Finance Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee, a post that holds particular interest for him because of Boston's growing financial sector and Massachusetts' role as a leader in the high-technology community. As subcommittee chairman, he presides over interstate and foreign telecommunications, including all telecommunications and information transmission. Representative Markey's recent efforts involve overhauling the regulation of securities laws to prevent a recurrence of the stock market crash of 1987. |
