(Newser) – Look out, Scott Brown: Elizabeth Warren will indeed go after your Senate seat. A host of news services—including the Boston Globe, the Huffington Post, Politico, and the AP—say the consumer advocate will formally launch her 2012 campaign tomorrow in Massachusetts. She's been hinting at a run to reclaim Ted Kennedy's seat for Democrats ever since she got passed over to run the new consumer protection agency she helped create.

“The pressures on middle class families are worse than ever, but it is the big corporations that get their way in Washington,” says Warren in a statement obtained in advance by HuffPo. “I want to change that. I will work my heart out to earn the trust of the people of Massachusetts.” Click for more.
