McConnell announced over a year ago that he will not be running for another term.

Amy McGrath is running again. She received 38 percent of the vote when she ran against McConnell in 2020. Here is her website: https://amymcgrath.com/

Booker ran in 2020 and came very close to becoming the Democratic nominee.
