In the race to replace Congressman Seth Moulton in the 6th District, Dan Koh’s campaign continued to significantly outpace the Democratic field in February fundraising on the ActBlue platform, bringing in more than $311,000 in contributions and widening an already substantial advantage among candidates using the online donation service.
According to ActBlue data, Koh, who lives in Andover, recorded 1,288 individual contributions totaling $311,880.81 in February. The figures reflect only donations processed through ActBlue, a widely used Democratic fundraising platform, and do not represent each campaign’s total fundraising across all sources.
Even within that limitation, Koh’s performance dwarfed the rest of the field.
A steep drop-off follows Koh in February ActBlue receipts:
- Tram Nguyen: $22,946.99 (213 contributions)
- John Beccia: $26,345.00 (52 contributions)
- Mariah Lancaster: $16,018.00 (101 contributions)
- Jamie Belsito: $6,918.00 (56 contributions)
- Bethany Andres-Beck: $4,051.15 (131 contributions)
- Rick Jakious: $2,435.00 (19 contributions)
In total, the seven candidates combined to raise $390,594.95 through ActBlue across 1,860 contributions in February — meaning Koh alone accounted for roughly 80 percent of all dollars raised on the platform during the month.
The February totals build on Koh’s similarly dominant January showing on ActBlue, reinforcing his early strength in online grassroots fundraising as the race for Massachusetts’ Sixth Congressional District begins to take shape.
Still, ActBlue data provides only a partial snapshot of the race. Candidates may also raise significant funds through direct checks, events, and other platforms that are not reflected in these numbers. A full picture of each campaign’s financial standing will come when candidates file official reports with the Federal Election Commission later this spring.
Fundraising remains a key early indicator of campaign viability, helping candidates build staff, expand voter outreach, and invest in advertising ahead of the September primary.
