In a significant victory for the Democratic establishment, Dan Koh, a former Biden-Harris administration aide, has clinched a crowded primary in Massachusetts, positioning him for a near-certain win in the general election for the U.S. House of Representatives. Koh, who previously served as chief of staff to the Secretary of Labor and as deputy assistant to the President, secured the Democratic nomination to replace retiring Rep. Seth Moulton in the safely blue 6th Congressional District. This win marks Koh’s second bid for Congress, after narrowly losing the nomination in a neighboring district in 2018. His progressive platform includes calls to abolish ‘Trump’s ICE’ and implement universal healthcare. Meanwhile, in a separate race, Rep. Seth Moulton’s bid for the Senate against incumbent Ed Markey was unsuccessful, despite his campaign’s focus on generational change. Markey, backed by progressive heavyweights like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, ultimately prevailed in their contentious primary, leaving Koh to face Republican challenger Micah Jones in November, with Koh’s deep ties to the Biden-Harris administration and his family’s history in federal service bolstering his campaign.
