Dan Koh wins Democratic nomination for U.S. House in Massachusetts’ 6th Congressional District
Koh prevailed after a costly five-way race and backing from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, with 63% of votes counted when AP called the contest.
- 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.

In a cycle where much of the party preferred to take off from previous management after the defeat of 2024, Koh did exactly the opposite and made that closeness the axis of his campaign.
