New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan (D) on Monday announced that she will challenge incumbent GOP Sen. Kelly Ayotte, ending months of speculation about her Senate ambitions and teeing up what could be one of the marquee Senate races of 2016.

"Washington has lost its way on too many of the priorities that matter to New Hampshire, and you can count on me to take my bipartisan approach, my common sense and my commitment to problem solving and results to the Senate,” she said in a video announcing her candidacy. “The Granite State needs a senator who knows that New Hampshire comes first -- and leads like it.”
