District 6

The 6th district represents northeastern Massachusetts and includes Salem, Peabody, and Gloucester. The incumbent is Democrat Seth Moulton, who was re-elected uncontested in 2024.

Moulton's comments on transgender individuals following the 2024 United States presidential election drew condemnation from local and national Democrats, including Governor Maura Healey. Combined with his short-lived presidential campaign in the 2020 Democratic primaries and unsuccessful attempt to oust Nancy Pelosi as speaker in 2019, Moulton was seen as vulnerable to a primary challenger. On October 15, Moulton declared his candidacy for U.S. Senate in the Democratic primary against incumbent Senator Ed Markey.
