BOSTON (AP) — An aide to former Republican Gov. Mitt Romney is stepping up to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
Beth Lindstrom says in a video message posted on her website Monday that she’s “all in” for the 2018 race. She says a more formal announcement will be made in the fall.
Lindstrom describes herself as an “independent-minded Republican” who would help counter the “finger-pointing” in Washington.
The Groton resident served as director of consumer affairs under Romney and later headed the state lottery.
Warren is a harsh critic of President Donald Trump and enjoys a national base of support as she gears up for a re-election bid. She had $11 million in her campaign account at the end of June.
Three other Republicans are also challenging Warren.
Awe…isn’t that cute?
I don’t know much about her, but I suspect we will see a lot of “independent-minded” republican candidates next fall.
Can’t wait for Curt Schilling to cannonball into this race.
Though I’m asking for it, one can learn a lot from someone’s (now campaign, but previously private) Twitter feed.

She also ran Scott Brown’s '10 campaign and ran a Charlie Baker PAC in '14.
