From Roll Call:
State Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) has already expressed interest in running for Senate, although she would start off with a financial disadvantage compared to some of the House Members. But as the only female and statewide officer in the state, Coakley would stand out in a crowded field.
Local Democrats mentioned Reps. Steve Lynch (D) and Mike Capuano (D) as likely candidates. Lynch and Capuano reported having $1.39 million and $1.21 million, respectively, in their campaign accounts at the end of June.
Former Rep. Marty Meehan (D) left Congress in 2007 with almost $5 million left in his campaign account, but at least one source close to him said he is unlikely to run for the Senate.
