Seth Wilbur Moulton (born October 24, 1978) is an American politician who has been the U.S. representative for Massachusetts's 6th congressional district since 2015.[2] A former Marine Corps officer, he is a member of the Democratic Party.
After graduating from Harvard University 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 policy in a dual program at Harvard. He entered politics in 2014, when he was elected to represent Massachusetts's 6th congressional district.
In early 2019, Moulton was seen as a potential presidential candidate for the Democratic nomination in 2020.[3][4] Publicly expressing his interest in the prospect, he traveled to early primary states.[5] After announcing his candidacy on April 22, 2019, Moulton withdrew from the race on August 23.[6][7]
