HARWICH, Mass. -- A second Republican has entered the race for the U.S. Senate seat held by John Kerry.
Jeffrey Beatty is a 54-year-old Harwich businessman who ran unsuccessfully against U.S. Rep. William Delahunt in 2006. Beatty is a former Army Delta Force officer who was awarded a Purple Heart for injuries suffered in Grenada in 1983.
James Ogonowski announced his candidacy for the Senate last month. The Dracut Republican lost in October to Democrat Niki Tsongas in a special election for the 5th congressional district.
