01 · Background
Who they are, where they came from
William R. Keating represents Massachusetts's 9th congressional district, which includes Cape Cod and most of the South Coast, and has served in Congress since January 2011, initially representing the 10th congressional district before redistricting. A lawyer and member of the Democratic Party, Keating served in both chambers of the Massachusetts General Court from 1977 to 1999, where he worked on criminal justice issues, before serving three terms as district attorney of Norfolk County. He voted in favor of S.2228, the Building Chips in America Act of 2023, a vote that crossed his party's majority position.
