Meet our 2013-2014 Candidates
Senate Candidates
Ed Markey (D-MA)
Markey has been a key House leader on nuclear weapons issues for decades. From leading the fight for a freeze on new nuclear weapons in the 1980s to his call last year a $100 billion cut in the nuclear weapons budget, he has been the person to work with on arms control issues in the House of Representatives.
Bruce Braley (D-IA)
Bruce Braley (D) was elected to represent Iowa’s 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2006. Council for a Livable World supported Braley in that race because of his strong opposition to the Iraq war and support for seeking multilateral solutions to global problems.
Al Franken (D-MN)
Franken has earned a perfect 100% on the Council’s scorecard for his commitment to smart national security spending and ending the war in Afghanistan.
Jeff Merkley (D-OR)
Council for a Livable World endorsed Jeff Merkley in his first Senate run because in addition to being an electoral winner, he is also an expert on nuclear weapons and acutely aware of the dangers they pose.
Brian Schatz (D-HI)
Schatz is committed to representing Hawaii modeled after the careers of the late Senators Akaka and Inouye– by valuing humility and hard work above all else.
Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)
Shaheen has been a leader in the Senate on international issues and was a prominent advocate of New START.
