THE STEADY STATE ENDORSES BILL KEATING FOR MASSACHUSETTS’ 9TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
WASHINGTON — The Steady State, an organization of more than 420 former national security, intelligence, diplomatic, military, law enforcement, and homeland security officials, today endorsed Hon. William Keating for Massachusetts’ 9th Congressional District.
Bill Keating represents Massachusetts’ Ninth District and is running for re-election. Born and raised in Norwood, he learned the value of service from his father, a police officer and veterans agent. He worked his way through Boston College as a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service before earning his law degree from Suffolk University while serving in the Massachusetts Legislature. In Congress, he serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Armed Services Committee, and is currently Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, Energy, and the Environment.
Bill Keating demonstrates a consistent commitment to the rule of law, supports nonpartisan oversight and accountability of the Executive Branch, exhibits a substantive understanding of the national security challenges facing the country, and upholds the democratic norms and ethical standards of public service that the organization’s criteria require.
“Bill Keating appreciates that Congress was designed to be a vigorous and independent branch of government. His understanding of national security and his respect for constitutional checks and balances make him exactly the kind of leader Congress needs,” said Steven Cash, Executive Director of The Steady State.
