Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) on Friday issued a statement saying he respects the decision by former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) to not run in the Massachusetts special election.
“I respect Scott Brown’s decision and know that he did what he thought was best for him and his family.
“This race is about who will be the best voice for our families and our future here in Massachusetts. My record taking on the gun lobby, fighting against climate change, creating clean energy jobs, and standing up for middle class families is clear, and I want to bring this energy and passion to the U.S. Senate.”
