PM in the News: “In Sixth District primary, it’s ‘outsiders,’ an insider — and one Democrat trying to convince voters she’s both”

Anjali Huynh, “In Sixth District primary, it’s ‘outsiders,’ an insider — and one Democrat trying to convince voters she’s both,” Boston Globe, August 9, 2026.

To Jonathan Cohn, policy director for Progressive Mass, which is backing Nguyen, candidates are trying anything to distinguish themselves in a race that “has the feeling”of the 2018 primary for the Third Congressional District, located just to the west along the northern Massachusetts border. In that race, a crowded field of Democrats pitched themselves as an antidote to President Trump. (Koh was a candidate in that primary, too, which was won by the current incumbent, Lori Trahan.)
