Markey fulfilled the promise in federal office by introducing and publicly backing the Protecting Moms and Babies Against Climate Change Act in April 2026. The legislation directly targeted maternal and infant mortality risks through environmental measures including extreme heat, air pollution, and other climate-related threats, matching the promised action to support legislative efforts rather than requiring final enactment.
