Posted About Three Months Ago by Pete Braley

State Rep. Chris Markey has announced he will not seek re-election to the Ninth Bristol District representing Dartmouth and part of Ward 1 in New Bedford.

Markey, a Democrat, said he will be announcing his candidacy for Bristol County district attorney next week.

Incumbent Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III announced Jan. 20 that he will not be seeking re-election.

There already was a candidate in the race for Bristol County DA. Attorney Seth Aitken, the former city administrator of Fall River, announced July 2025 that he would be running for District Attorney in 2026 as a Republican.
