Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, an Iraq War veteran who came to Congress after defeating a nine-term incumbent in a primary, is challenging another fellow Democrat in 2026: Sen. Edward J. Markey.
In a campaign kick-off video released Wednesday, Moulton, 46, framed his race against Markey, who will be 80 next year, as a call for generational change.
“We’re in a 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 said. “Even more, I don’t think someone who’s been in Congress for half a century is the right person to meet this moment and win the future.”
