2009: Markey introduced HR 3458, the Internet Freedom Preservation Act, which would have legislated net neutrality if passed.

May 2009: Co-sponsored the ACES Act, which would have established an emissions trading plan. However, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) never brought it to the floor.

2010: Got BP to provide the live underwater video feed of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

2016, October: Requested the Obama administration halt work on the Dakota Access Pipeline.

2017, September: Cosponsored the Medicare for All Act introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

2017, November: Cosponsored the Military DV Reporting Enhancement Act, to create a charge of domestic violence under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

2019, February: Worked with AOC to author and promote the Green New Deal.

P.S. This thread isn& #39;t about whether Markey is succeeding, or whether he& #39;s trying hard enough. It& #39;s about whether he& #39;s trying at all when we& #39;re not looking at him, and on balance that seems to be the case.
