Former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld (R) said Monday that he will not run in the state’s special election to fill the U.S. Senate seat previously held by Secretary of State John Kerry, the Associated Press reported.

Weld announced his decision in a statement, making him the latest Republican to take a pass on a bid in the special election. Former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) and 2012 U.S. House candidate Richard Tisei have also both opted against a run.
