Massachusetts U.S. Senator Ed Markey says he will be seeking a third term in office in 2026. 

The Democratic senator will be 80-years-old when the election is held in two years. 

Markey says he remains energized, and cites his work on the Green New Deal and renewable energy as a sign of his continued relevance. 

Markey was elected to the Senate in a 2013 special election after serving over two decades in the U.S. House, and has been reelected twice.
