“In the face of today’s repeated attempts to put our health and safety at risk, Massachusetts’s Senator John Kerry fought to make sure that Americans will have clean air to breathe. He helped beat back four different measures in the U.S. Senate that would have weakened the Clean Air Act, which protects Americans from dangerous pollution like mercury, carbon, and methane. Senator Kerry showed the kind of leadership that we need in Congress. Every person in Massachusetts who has lungs should call him to say thank you.”
