Democrats in Massachusetts are currently facing internal turmoil as House Rep. Seth Moulton's comments on trans inclusion in women's sports have sparked a revolt within his own party. Moulton's criticism of his party's stance on this issue has led to backlash from fellow Democrats in his state, with some even considering running against him in the upcoming election.
The Salem Democratic City Committee chair, Liz Bradt, has stated that they are actively seeking a candidate to challenge Moulton in the Sixth District and are confident in their ability to secure a victory. Additionally, Salem city councilor Kyle Davis is organizing a pro-trans rally and has called for Moulton's resignation ahead of the 2026 election.
