Summary

  • Dan Koh topped a six-candidate Democratic primary Tuesday to replace Rep. Seth Moulton in Massachusetts' 6th District, putting the former Biden White House aide on track for November in a safe blue seat.
  • Biden and Kamala Harris backed Koh, who previously served under Labor Secretary Marty Walsh and later in the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.
  • Koh ran on progressive pledges including abolishing ICE and universal healthcare, and returned after narrowly losing a 2018 Democratic congressional primary in the neighboring 3rd District.
  • Moulton leaves the House after an unsuccessful Senate primary challenge to Sen. Ed Markey, and Koh now advances to face Republican Micah Jones, who was unopposed in his primary.
