"When Rep. Seth Moulton announced his plans to challenge Sen. Ed Markey last October, candidates flocked to the open race to replace him. So far, seven candidates have officially launched campaigns to represent Massachusetts's 6th Congressional District. They come from a variety of backgrounds, with some advertising their experience in the halls of power and others proudly labeling themselves as political outsiders. They share some commonalities, such as a disdain for the Trump administration and a stated desire to make life more affordable for residents."
"Andres-Beck, a software engineer and Democratic activist from Middleton, was the first candidate to get into this race last summer. They intended to challenge Moulton at the time, before the congressman announced his plans to run for senate. A political newcomer, Andres-Beck is leaning into their outsider status as someone willing to fight corruption with a clear eye. Andres-Beck is transgender."
Rep. Seth Moulton's bid for the U.S. Senate opened an open-seat contest in Massachusetts's 6th Congressional District, prompting seven candidates to launch campaigns. Candidates include political newcomers and seasoned professionals who emphasize affordability, oppose the Trump administration, and promote outsider credentials. Andres-Beck, a Middleton software engineer and Democratic activist, framed a challenger identity, focused on fighting corruption, AI regulation, and argued Democrats should prioritize affordability over wedge issues; Andres-Beck is transgender. Beccia, a Lynnfield financial-technology executive, lawyer and Boston University adjunct, presents himself as a business leader who would create jobs, protect consumers, cut middle-class taxes, decouple insurance from employment, and grow regional tech.
