U.S. Rep. Stephen F. Lynch is set to announce Thursday he’s running for U.S. Sen. John Kerry’s now-vacant seat, the Herald has learned.

He will be holding events in Springfield, Worcester, and Southie that day, said campaign spokesman Scott Ferson.

A source with knowledge of the campaign told the Herald that will be the day Lynch jumps into the race.

Not an endorsement.

that always goes to the polls, that Southie/West Roxbury crowd. And being more conservative could work in his favor across the state. Does, and will he have the organization to take on Markey? I doubt it.
