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.
