Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), a key member of the progressive “squad,” announced Tuesday that she will run for re-election in Massachusetts’s 7th Congressional District rather than challenge Sen. Ed Markey for his U.S. Senate seat.

Her decision, shared in a statement, ends months of speculation that she might enter the Democratic primary.

Pressley said in her statement that the encouragement she received from voters across the state was “deeply humbling”.
