Attorney General Martha Coakley will reportedly decide by the end of the month if she's going to jump into the race for governor,according to the Boston Herald.

The Herald reports Coakley told reporters at Monday's Greater Boston Labor Council's annual Labor Day Breakfast that she is "seriously considering" a run in the race to replace outgoing Governor Deval Patrick, and that she would make that decision between now and the end of September. 
U.S. Representative Michael Capuano, also in attendance at Monday’s Labor Day Breakfast, said he, too, is mulling a run for the seat, and will make his decision “soon,” according to the Herald.
