According to Eleanor Terrett, former U.S. Senate candidate John E. Deaton has announced a run to unseat Sen. Ed Markey in next year’s midterm elections. According to Eleanor Terrett, Markey, age 79, has served in Congress for more than five decades, first in the House and now as Massachusetts’ junior senator. According to Eleanor Terrett, Deaton is a pro-crypto lawyer who ran against Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2024 and lost by about 19 percent. According to Eleanor Terrett, Deaton believes the race against Markey will be different. According to Eleanor Terrett, Markey is considered anti-crypto and voted against the passage of the pro-crypto GENIUS Act and other similar initiatives in Congress.
