Seth Wilbur Moulton (born October 24, 1978) is an American politician and Marine Corps combat veteran who has been the U.S. representative for Massachusetts's 6th congressional district since 2015. A member of the Democratic Party, his district includes many of Boston's northern suburbs, such as Andover, Marblehead, Peabody, and his hometown of Salem. After graduating from Harvard College in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science in physics, Moulton joined the United States Marine Corps. He served four tours in Iraq and then earned his master's degrees in business and public administration in a dual program at Harvard. He entered politics in 2014, when he was elected to represent Massachusetts's 6th congressional district. In November 2018, Moulton spearheaded an effort to oust Nancy Pelosi as House Democratic leader. Despite Moulton's efforts, Pelosi easily won the Democratic nomination for Speaker of the House on November 28, 2018 by a 203-to-32 vote of the Democratic caucus. On April 22, 2019, Moulton announced himself a Democratic Party candidate for U.S. president in the 2020 election. Moulton campaigned across Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina during spring of 2019. Moulton's presidential campaign failed to garner support and Moulton did not qualify for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential debates. Moulton subsequently withdrew from the presidential race on August 23, 2019. On October 15, 2025, Moulton announced his decision to challenge incumbent U.S. Senator Ed Markey in the Massachusetts Democratic primary for the United States Senate in 2026.
