Congressman Marty Meehan represented the Fifth Congressional District of Massachusetts until 2007. His top priorities included supporting the men and women of our Armed Services, working to make our communities clean and crime-free for families, and providing people the education they need to compete in a global workplace. In Washington, Representative Meehan called for Congress and the President to develop an energy plan that invests in renewable fuels and hybrid technology, and he led the fight against Republican efforts to drill for oil in our national parks. Here in Massachusetts, he fought for protections for our natural treasures, including 3,600 acres of national wildlife refuge land.

Marty Meehan has been named Chancellor of the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, his alma mater.
