Republican Scott Brown will run for the U.S. Senate seat he lost to Democrat Senator Jeanne Shaheen 11 years ago. “We need people in the United States Senate who can get the job done, and I have a proven record of doing just that,” Brown said in a campaign video released Wednesday.

Shaheen, a former governor, announced she would not run for a fourth term in March, after serving in Washington since 2008. She endorsed U.S. Representative Chris Pappas to take her seat after he announced his bid in April.

“I got into this race because Granite Staters made it clear they want a Senator grounded in their values,” Pappas said in response to Brown’s entrance to the race. “They know where I stand – taking on special interests to lower prescription drug costs, pushing to find bipartisan solutions to stop predatory companies from scamming veterans and fighting to lower taxes for small businesses and families.”

Brown, 65, of Rye, served as a United States Senator for Massachusetts from 2010 to 2013 and was appointed by President Donald Trump to be the ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa during his first administration. Brown was also a member of the National Guard for 32 years.
