BOSTON, JUNE 21, 2019…..This past January, Scott Lang was convinced that he should run for the U.S. Senate and challenge U.S. Sen. Edward Markey.
A self-described “centrist,” Lang thought Markey and the Democratic Party were veering too far to the left, pushing what he considered to be unrealistic policy prescriptions like the Green New Deal and losing sight of what mattered to local communities.
The former mayor of New Bedford also thought the party had badly mishandled the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation hearings, costing the Democrats a chance to retake the Senate in 2018 and stop court packing by Republicans.
