Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) announced that he will run for the seat of retiring Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), “moving swiftly as numerous other ambitious Democrats have their eye on the race,” Roll Call reports.

Said Van Hollen: “I am excited to share that I have decided to run for the United States Senate from our great State of Maryland.”
