Seth Moulton - running for Senate & giving back AIPAC money [View all]

Seth Moulton to seek Massachusetts Senate seat held by Ed Markey in generational fight. (He’s ahead in polls)

Politico - “Rep. Seth Moulton will challenge Sen. Ed Markey for his Senate seat in 2026, setting up one of the biggest tests of Democratic voters’ appetite for generational change following the 2024 presidential election.
Moulton, who turns 47 this month, is putting age at the center of his announcement, saying in a campaign video to be released Wednesday that Markey is “a good man” but he should nevertheless move on after decades in Congress.
“We’re in crisis, and with everything we learned last election, I just don’t believe Senator Markey should be running for another six-year term at 80 years old,” he said in the video announcement. “Even more, I don’t think someone who’s been in Congress for a half century is the right person to meet this moment and win the future.” https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/15/seth-moulton-ed-markey-senate-00608034

Seth Moulton - “ I am returning AIPAC donations and refusing to accept any donations or support from them.

The FEC filing I made yesterday reflects that we are returning donations.”
