Koh wins crowded Democratic primary for Moulton's Lynn-area seat
Dan Koh, a former White House official and Boston City Hall alum, won Tuesday's five-way Democratic primary in the 6th Congressional District, leading state Rep. Tram Nguyen of Andover by more than 10 points when the Associated Press called the race about 10:30 p.m. He will face Micah Jones, an Army veteran and the district's sole Republican, in November for the North Shore seat being vacated by Rep. Seth Moulton. If Koh wins, he would be the first Asian American to represent Massachusetts in Congress.
