Taunton’s election for mayor and other local offices is Tuesday, Nov. 4. But residents who don’t want to wait can start casting their ballots early.

Seth Moulton said he's running against Sen. Ed Markey because "our party leaders are clinging to that old playbook."

Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts announced Wednesday that he is launching a primary challenge against Sen. Edward J. Markey.

Representative Seth W. Moulton ’01 (D-Mass.) launched his bid for Senate Wednesday in a posted campaign video, denouncing the age of incumbent Ed J. Markey (D-Mass.) in his announcement.

Moulton announced he is challenging the longtime legislator for the Democratic Senate nomination on Wednesday.

Markey last year said he would be running for a third Senate term in 2026. Back in 2013, Markey defeated U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch in a special election when John Kerry became the Secretary of State under President Barack Obama. Then in 2020, Markey handily defeated the young primary challenger Joe Kennedy III by more than 10 points.

Could the mayor's raise still make it onto the November election ballot? it depends who you ask. What was said in court on Wednesday, Oct. 14.
