Ed Markey just sent out a press release with a big scoop o' US Senate endorsements from elected officials in his congressional district (never mind that he is currently the only candidate to choose from). This can also serve as a handy list of potential candidates in a special congressional election later this year if Markey wins the promotion.
The list:
House Speaker Robert DeLeo

State Senator Karen Spilka
State Senator Sal DiDomenico
State Senator Will Brownsberger
State Senator Pat Jehlen
