SPRINGFIELD ‒ U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., threw his support behind Hillary Clinton's 2016 White House bid Wednesday, saying the former secretary of state understands real issues facing the nation and has offered solutions to address them.

Calling Clinton a "trailblazer," Markey praised the Democratic presidential hopeful for fighting for American families, adding that he looks forward to "fighting alongside her for a fairer, healthier, more prosperous future for America."

"Hillary has spent her career fighting for American families and working to ensure they can achieve their American Dream," he said in a statement. "She understands the challenges facing our nation – college affordability, income inequality, access to affordable health care – and has real plans for how to address them."

Markey further praised Clinton for releasing a strategy to address prescription drug and heroin abuse. He added that, in his opinion, "there is no one better to lead the effort to combat climate change" than the former first lady.

5. He always was and will be

When I lived in MA, I would wonder why someone didn't just rub him out, he was such a weathervane. (In fact, I thought someone had...he 's been keeping a low profile until this).

2. Her "strategy to address prescription drug and heroin abuse"

...is more of the same.

We'll give states some money for treatment and some money to lock people up.

3. Clinton worked to privatize the Mexican Natonal Oil Industry which threw the Mexican workers

and their families out of a prosperous future. She made sure that the control of socialized oil profits went to the 1% and away from the workers. This was 2012 while she was understanding the challenges that the 1% are facing using her position as a Secretary of State from the United States of America.

Wake up folks!
