Moulton, 46, announced his Senate campaign, stating:
We’re in crisis, and with everything we learned last election, I just don’t believe Sen. Markey should be running for another six-year term at 80 years old.

Moulton criticized the Democratic party for maintaining the status quo and not fighting hard enough.
