| Description | Rick Green, chairman of the board of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, has decided not to run for U.S. Senate.
Green, a fiscally conservative Republican, had been considering a run against U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, in 2018.
Green said in a Facebook post Monday morning that although he and his wife were "humbled by the encouragement and support" they have received, he had decided not to run. "With a young family and a growing business, we've decided that my focus should remain on the good work we're doing at MassFiscal," Green wrote.
In addition to his work with MassFiscal, Green is the president of 1A Auto. He was recently one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit seeking to allow Massachusetts businesses to make the same political donations as labor unions.
Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling was at one point considering a run against Warren, but he then backed a Cambridge man, Shiva Ayyadurai, who claims to have invented email.
State Rep. Geoff Diehl, R-Whitman, is also reportedly considering a run against Warren.
Warren, in her first term in the Senate, has become a liberal icon in the U.S. Senate and a leader of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. She has been vocal in challenging President Donald Trump, and some have speculated that she could run for U.S. president in the future. |
