Senator Edward J. Markey has a prolific legislative record on major issues across the policy spectrum. He is a consumer champion and national leader on energy, environmental protection, and telecommunications policy, as well as nuclear nonproliferation efforts. After serving for 37 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, Markey was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2013.

Markey is a leading consumer champion against rising gas prices and foreign oil. He authored the law establishing the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve and authored the 2007 law to increase fuel economy standards. He has also been a leading voice for policies that promote resilience and sustainability.

He has been instrumental in breaking up monopolies in electricity, telephone service, cable television, and international satellite services. His pro-competition policies have directly benefited job creation in Massachusetts and throughout the country. He is also the author of some of the most important Wall Street reform laws since the Great Depression, strengthening penalties against insider trading, improving federal oversight of stock and futures markets, and reforming regulation of the government securities market.

Markey was also the leader of the national Nuclear Freeze movement and has been a congressional champion on nuclear nonproliferation. His amendment to ban all underground nuclear testing passed in 1986, and in the 1990s, he fought to tighten controls on global trafficking in nuclear technology.

Over his long career, Markey has played key roles on many committees both in the House and the Senate. In the House of Representatives, Markey served as the ranking member of the Natural Resources Committee and was chairman of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. He also served on the Energy and Commerce Committee and as a senior member of the House Homeland Security Committee. In the Senate, he serves as a member of the Business and Entrepreneurship Committee (ranking member); the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee; the Environment and Public Works Committee; and the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee.

In 2014, Anne Hidalgo became the first woman to be elected Mayor of Paris. She was born in Spain and is a mother of three. After graduating with a Master of Advanced Studies in social law, she became a labour inspector. She has been a member of the Socialist Party since 1994, where she served as National Secretary for Culture and Media, and was later in charge of vocational training. From 1997 to 2002, she worked as an adviser to three Ministers under the Jospin Government.

From 2001 to 2014, she served as First Deputy Mayor of Paris under Mayor Bertrand Delanoë, first in charge of gender equality, then of urban planning and architecture. Anne Hidalgo was an Île-de-France regional councillor from 2004 to 2014. In 2020, she was re-elected Paris councillor for the 11th district and Mayor of Paris, heading the left-wing, ecologist coalition "Paris en commun" with an ambitious programme designed to transform Paris into a zero-carbon city by 2050. She also served as First Vice President of the Greater Paris Metropolitan Area.

In 2015, together with Tony Estanguet, she led Paris's bid to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The IOC approved the bid in Lima in September 2017. The Games immediately became a major catalyst for urban and environmental transformation in Paris.

As Mayor of Paris until March 2026, Anne Hidalgo pursued an ambitious policy agenda focused on housing for families and universal, inclusive public services. She was committed to making Paris a model city in environmental terms, working to improve air quality, combat climate change and adapt the city to the climate challenge. Her actions to protect the environment and the health of Parisians included reducing car use, greening public spaces and prioritising pedestrians in the city. On 17 July 2024, in line with her commitment and 30 years after the promise made by former Paris mayor Jacques Chirac to allow swimming in the Seine, she took a dip in the now "clean" river. Anne Hidalgo has long been committed to advancing these issues at the international level. In December 2015 in Paris, she organised the climate summit for local leaders, a major side event of COP21. For its 10th anniversary, an event was held in June 2025 along with several other international events. Some programmes led by the City of Paris, such as Cities for Life, Reinventing Paris, the participatory budget, Embellishing Paris and its cycling policy are now benchmark programmes. From 2016 to 2019, she chaired C40 Cities Leadership Group, which consists of 90 megacities committed to addressing climate change. Within C40 she launched the Women4Climate initiative in New York (March 2017) and an air quality plan in Paris (Air'Volution, March 2017). In collaboration with other cities and international agencies, she started the Global Urban Air Pollution Observatory (GUAPO). In Paris in 2019, she also launched the Justice4Climate initiative, following a ruling by the European Court of Justice confirming that the cities of Paris, Brussels and Madrid could challenge vehicle emission regulations set by the European Commission and adopted by governments of member States.

Anne Hidalgo served as President of the International Association of Francophone Mayors (AIMF), Co-Chair of the World Organization of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) where she chaired the gender equality committee, and also as President of SOLIDEO, the public sector organization responsible for supervising and delivering the facilities and developments for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris.

Today, she continues in her role as Global Ambassador of the Global Covenant of Mayors, working on climate leadership with mayors around the world. She has long been engaged in end-of-life issues and serves on the Honorary Committee of the French Association for the Right to Die with Dignity. She has won several awards, including the Urban Land Institute Prize for making Paris "a healthier, more inclusive, and more livable city". She also received a UN Climate Action Award at COP26, recognising exemplary action to address climate change. She has published several essays: Une femme dans l'arène, co-written with Jean-Bernard Senon, Du Rocher, 2006; Travail au bord de la crise de nerfs, co-written with Jean-Bernard Senon, Flammarion, 2010; Mon combat pour Paris : quand la ville ose, Flammarion, 2013; Respirer, Éditions de l'Observatoire, 2018; Une femme française, Editions de l'Observatoire, 2021.
