Congressman Seth Moulton, a Democrat who grew up in Marblehead and represents the 6th district, may be considering a run for U.S. Senate against incumbent Ed Markey, another Democrat.

“While I continue to look at the best options to represent Massachusetts moving forward, I have not yet made a decision about running for U.S. Senate,” Moulton said in a statement.

Moulton has been vocal about Democrats needing younger leadership. Markey is 79 years old.

Moulton briefly ran for president in the 2020 election. He withdrew from the race in August 2019.

Moulton is a Marine veteran who served four tours in Iraq. He received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Harvard College. He entered politics in 2014. Moulton, his wife and their two young daughters live in Salem.

The Current contacted state Rep. Jenny Armini, of Marblehead, and Sen. Brendan Crighton, of Lynn, to see if they have interest in running for Congress.

Crighton responded, “I would never rule anything out but right now I’m focused on our crucial work in the (Massachusetts) Senate.”

Armini answered, “The Massachusetts House is the only house I want to serve in. It’s where I can do the most good for Marblehead, Swampscott and Lynn.”
