Massachusetts Congressional Delegation to the 117th Congress

As the results of last week’s election come into sharper focus, the Massachusetts political landscape is set, and a new congressional delegation is preparing for the 117th Congress.

While the Commonwealth’s highest-profile race this year, the Senate primary between incumbent Ed Markey and challenger Joe Kennedy, didn’t change Massachusetts’s representation in the upper chamber, it did touch off changes throughout the House delegation. Despite losing some seats, Democrats will maintain control of the House of Representatives, giving each of Massachusetts’s House members the privilege of the majority. The senior members of the delegation will maintain significant influence in the House. Moreover, members of the delegation will enjoy good relationships throughout Joe Biden’s incoming administration. Massachusetts’s congressional delegation produced two candidates in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary: Elizabeth Warren and Seth Moulton. While most members of the delegation formally endorsed their colleague in the Senate, each of them supported the Biden campaign as soon as Warren dropped out. Stephen Lynch endorsed Biden even before he officially announced his candidacy for president. A former member of the delegation, John Kerry, was also very active on the Biden campaign. Watch for Kerry to assume an official position in the Biden White House focusing on efforts to address climate change.

After soundly defeating a well-funded primary challenger, Richie Neal will return to Congress as Chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee. Given the likelihood of health care coverage legislation moving this year, Chairman Neal’s leadership position will be critical. He will also have an important role in negotiations over a final pandemic stimulus package, Washington’s top legislative priority. The dean of the House delegation, Neal enjoys a particularly close relationship with Biden, having worked closely with him on a number of issues during their time in Washington.

Jim McGovern returns as Chairman of the Rules Committee, which is responsible for setting terms and conditions for the House to consider legislation. He will continue to work closely with House leadership to bring legislation to the floor for consideration.

Katherine Clark, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, is running for Assistant Speaker. The position is fourth in Democratic leadership and is elected by the House Democratic Caucus. The current Assistant Speaker, Ben Ray Lujan, is leaving for the Senate, making this the only open leadership position. Clark, who currently serves as Vice Chair of the Democratic Caucus, has been active in recruiting Democratic House candidates and helping freshmen Democrats navigate the chamber. By ascending to Assistant Speaker, Clark would give Massachusetts even more influence in House leadership. Two other candidates, Dave Cicilline of Rhode Island and Tony Cardenas of California, are also running for the position.

Nominated after a hard-fought Democratic primary, Jake Auchincloss easily won the race to replace Kennedy in Massachusetts’s 4th Congressional District. The district stretches from Brookline to the South Coast. Auchincloss is seeking a seat on the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee. Given the persistent interest in passing a bold infrastructure bill, this could be a key committee assignment for the incoming freshman.

Currently, Lynch represents the state on the T&I Committee, though he may end up giving up his seat there to make room for Auchincloss. Lynch also serves on the Committees on Financial Services and Oversight & Reform, where he chairs the Subcommittee on National Security.

Kennedy’s departure leaves Massachusetts without a member on the powerful Committee on Energy & Commerce. With the broadest jurisdiction in Congress, E&C deals with issues relating to telecommunications, consumer protection, energy, environment, and health care. It is an exclusive committee, meaning members who serve on it typically cannot serve on other committees. Watch for Lori Trahan to join E&C in the new Congress.

Moving to E&C would require Trahan to give up her current committee assignments. She serves on the Committees on Armed Services and Education & Labor.

Bill Keating is expected to remain on the Committees on Armed Services and Foreign Affairs. There will be some changes on the Democratic side of the Foreign Affairs Committee, owing to the chairman’s primary campaign loss, but expect Keating to remain Chairman of the Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, Energy, and the Environment.

Finally, Seth Moulton, who serves on the Budget and Armed Services Committees, has expressed interest in changing assignments. However, the Democrats’ narrowing margin of control in the House may make moving difficult. With fewer members in the chamber overall, committees may be more evenly split next year than they have been in the 116th Congress.

[177] Between 2009 and 2012, Keating's calculated net worth [178] decreased by an average of 21 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent. [179]

These are earmark requests which may or may not survive the legislative process to becoming law. Most representatives from both parties requested earmarks for fiscal year 2024. Across representatives who requested earmarks, the median total amount requested for this fiscal year was $39 million.

Earmarks are federal expenditures, tax benefits, or tariff benefits requested by a legislator for a specific entity. Rather than being distributed through a formula or competitive process administered by the executive branch, earmarks may direct spending where it is most needed for the legislator's district. All earmark requests in the House of Representatives are published online for the public to review. We don’t have earmark requests for senators. The fiscal year begins on October 1 of the prior calendar year. Source: Appropriations.house.gov . Background: Earmark Disclosure Rules in the House

Does 1 not sound like a lot? Very few bills are ever enacted — most legislators sponsor only a handful that are signed into law. But there are other legislative activities that we don’t track that are also important, including offering amendments, committee work and oversight of the other branches, and constituent services.

We consider a bill enacted if one of the following is true: a) it is enacted itself, b) it has a companion bill in the other chamber (as identified by Congress) which was enacted, or c) if at least about half of its provisions were incorporated into bills that were enacted (as determined by an automated text analysis, applicable beginning with bills in the 110 th Congress).

Earned 96% lifetime score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard

CANDIDATE BACKGROUND

Representative Bill Keating is running for an eighth term to represent Massachusetts’s 9th Congressional District. Keating previously served in the state House and Senate and as District Attorney for Norfolk County. In Massachusetts, he wrote and passed legislation that still protects the Commonwealth’s water from chemical pollution. As a Representative, Keating has worked to remove tax subsidies for Big Oil companies, preserve the scenic Cape Cod coastline, and support investments in clean energy, including supporting the Cape Wind project. He is a member of the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition and the House Oceans Caucus and has secured millions of dollars in funding to protect Cape Cod and southeast Massachusetts’ wetlands, ports, and marine mammals. Keating is also a staunch supporter of the federal Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds, which help finance much-needed improvements to wastewater treatment systems, combat stormwater runoff, and improve drinking water. Keating is committed to protecting all wild animals, especially those that are endangered or at risk of being listed as endangered; he has consistently opposed legislative measures that would erode protections for endangered species. He is an original cosponsor of the Orca Responsibility and Care Advancement (ORCA) Act, which would responsibly phase out the captivity of killer whales. In Congress, Keating will continue to be a champion for Cap Cod and the Commonwealth’s coastline. Representative Keating has a 96% lifetime score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard .

Congressman Bill Keating and his family.

In Congress, Bill has established himself as a hardworking civil servant and passionate advocate for the people of Massachusetts – a reputation he had earned since his days in the State's legislature. Bill's legislative priorities reflect a keen understanding of the issues facing his constituents and a commitment to addressing them: working to create jobs by supporting our small businesses and increasing educational opportunities; strengthening our middle class families; improving our domestic security; providing our senior population with the resources they need; ensuring our veterans receive the benefits they deserve; and protecting our unique ecosystems.

Congressman Keating is a senior member of the House, sitting on both the Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees. He currently serves as Chairman of the Europe, Eurasia, Energy and Environment subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He also sits on the Foreign Affairs subcommittee on the Middle East, North Africa, and International Terrorism as well as the Armed Services subcommittees for Strategic Forces and Intelligence and Emerging Threats and Capabilities. Through his work, he has cemented his role as one of the lead national security and foreign policy experts in Congress.

Some notable Congressional achievements include renewing the national focus on perimeter security in our nation's airports - an issue on which he is the leading voice, and introducing first-of its kind legislation aimed at curbing the growing prescription drug epidemic by requiring pharmaceutical companies to make these medicines tamper-resistant. Further, he worked to secure a new cybersecurity mission at Joint Base Cape Cod, not only creating local jobs and strengthening our district's economy, but strengthening our national security as well. Bill has introduced legislation to make nuclear power plants safer by promptly removing waste into storage units and to protect fishing communities by establishing shore-side support services and provide funding for science and research. He has successfully secured federal funding for the district to aid workforce development, coastal resiliency, education, and public safety projects, among others.

Prior to being elected to the United States House of Representatives, Bill had already exemplified a life of public service and a commitment to the state of Massachusetts. Born in Norwood, he is the proud grandson of Irish immigrants and was instilled with the work ethic and principles inspired by them and his father, who served his community as a police officer and then as a veterans agent. Bill attended Boston College where he received his B.A. and Masters in Business Administration. To put himself through college and his graduate program, he worked as a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service.

In 1977, at the age of 23, Bill was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives. While serving in the State House, he entered Suffolk University Law School and became a member of the state bar in 1985. The same year, he began serving in the Massachusetts State Senate, where he served as Senate Chairman of the Joint Committee on the Judiciary, the Joint Committee on Public Safety, and the Joint Committee on Taxation, respectively. He also served as the Senate Chairman of the standing Committee on Steering and Policy.

Bill was then elected to be Norfolk District Attorney, a position he held from 1999 until his election to Congress. As a District Attorney, he pursued some of Massachusetts' toughest cases. He was instrumental in programs targeted to increase community-based crime prevention, prevent senior abuse, reduce incidents of domestic violence, provide post-traumatic stress disorder services for veterans, stop bullying in our schools, and keep drugs off our streets.

Under his leadership, the Norfolk District Attorney's office became the first in Massachusetts to win a murder conviction in a case that lacked a victim's body. During this time, Bill also became one of the founding members of the Norfolk Advocates for Children, a public-private partnership whose mission is to aid abused children.

Bill and his wife, Tevis, reside in Bourne and are the proud parents of two children, Kristen and Patrick.
