The former state senator's announcement came on Friday after Scott Brown said he would not run in the U.S. Senate race.

Former state Senate Republican Leader Richard Tisei says he is considering a run for the U.S. Senate seat recently vacated by John Kerry after the long-time senator was appointed Secretary of State earlier this week.  “In the coming days, I will be talking with family, friends, and supporters to consider the best role that I can play in helping to bring new, alternative leadership to Washington,” Tisei said in a statement released Friday.

I really believe in light of John Tierneys re-election that the people really deserve what they vote for, The people deserve not to have ethical representation. Maybe Annie Dukain should run ?

Good, finally we have a "Man" a "Veteran" and he's a "White Man", as Secretary of State. Now maybe the country will go somewhere on the National Stage. I am sick and tired of seeing Hillary and those new Eye Glasses trying to look like Sarah Palin. Crying seems to be in fashion, the Crocodile tears of Hillary and Kerry make me sick. Like Boehner, we need to recognize the disen-genuine for whom …   more ›
