Andover's Dan Koh Wins 6th Congressional District Seat
The Associated Press called the race with Koh leading 62% to 37%, as he was set to replace Rep. Seth Moulton.
- On Tuesday, The Associated Press projected Democrat Dan Koh won the Massachusetts 6th Congressional District seat, filling the position vacated by Rep. Seth Moulton.
- Rep. Seth Moulton vacated the seat after announcing plans to challenge Sen. Ed Markey last October, subsequently losing his Senate primary bid on September 1 with around 35 percent of the vote.
- With around 14 percent of the vote counted, Koh secured just over 62 percent of the vote, while Republican Micah Jones, an attorney and U.S. Army veteran, received around 37 percent.
- Koh previously served as a White House senior aide during the Biden administration and as chief of staff to Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, winning a crowded Democratic primary of six candidates.
- Early results indicated Democrats were likely to retake the House, as nationwide efforts to flip key Republican-held congressional seats during midterms provide a check on government.
