Beth Lindstrom, Former Romney Aide, To Run Against Sen. Elizabeth Warren
BOSTON (AP) — Another Massachusetts Republican is stepping up to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Beth Lindstrom, who served in the administration of former Republican Gov. Mitt Romney, said in a video message posted on her website Monday that she's "all in" for the 2018 race.
She said a more formal announcement will be made in the fall.
Lindstrom describes herself as an "independent-minded Republican," who would help counter the "finger-pointing" in Washington.
The Groton resident served as director of consumer affairs under Romney and later headed the state lottery.
Warren, a harsh critic of President Donald Trump, enjoys a national base of support as she gears up for a re-election bid. She had $11 million in her campaign account at the end of June.
Three other Republicans are also challenging Warren.
