Mike Rush

Rep. Michael Rush, a fourth-term House member, is running  Sen. Marian Walsh’s open seat.

Walsh announced on her web site that she is not running for re-election. In the past few years she has attempted to make several moves out of the Senate, at one time accepting and then abandoning a job with the Patrick administration. Now that the seat is officially open its likely new candidates will appear.

Rush is known as a relatively independent Democrat who doesn’t march in lockstep with the party leadership.
