Dan Koh wins Democratic nomination for U.S. House in Massachusetts’ 6th Congressional District
Koh prevailed in a five-way race after raising $4.7 million and winning backing from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Marty Walsh.
- On Tuesday, former Biden White House aide Dan Koh won the Democratic nomination for Massachusetts' 6th Congressional District, succeeding Representative Seth Moulton, who vacated the seat to run for the Senate.
- Koh secured victory by explicitly embracing the former administration, featuring endorsements from President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in campaign ads while most Democratic candidates kept their distance.
- The campaign benefited from over $700,000 in support from Think Big, a PAC affiliated with the Leading the Future network; with roughly 65 percent of votes counted, Koh secured 42.3% of the vote.
- Having emerged from the crowded primary, Koh will face Republican Micah Quinney Jones in the November general election as the heavy favorite in the deep-blue district.
- Koh, a former chief of staff to Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, pitched himself as an experienced fighter needed to lower costs and challenge the president on Day 1.
