Congressman Seth Moulton Announces Run for U.S. Senate
Congressman Seth Moulton is challenging incumbent Sen. Ed Markey, citing the need for a new generation of leadership in the Democratic party.
We’re in crisis, and with everything we learned last election, I just don’t believe Sen. Markey should be running for another six-year term at 80 years old.
Moulton, 46, has represented Massachusetts' 6th Congressional District for a decade, while Markey, 79, is running for his third full term in the Senate.
- Moulton defeated nine-term incumbent John Tierney in the 2014 Democratic primary.
- Moulton criticized the Democratic party for sticking to the status quo and not fighting hard enough.
