Andover's Dan Koh has formed a political action committee to help Democrats win a U.S. House majority in the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

Koh, the Democratic nominee in Massachusetts' 6th Congressional District, announced the PAC on Sept. 22, according to the Eagle-Tribune. Called "Do the Work," the committee aims to raise money for Democratic candidates in competitive districts nationwide.

Republicans hold the House by a 218-212 margin, with one independent and four vacant seats. Democrats need a net gain of six seats to take control.

Koh, a former adviser in the Biden White House who won the Sept. 1 primary with 42.2% of the districtwide vote, said in a prepared statement that Democrats across the country need the resources to compete and win. He pointed to his own primary campaign as a model, saying his team built something real by working town by town, the Eagle-Tribune reported. He said the PAC would channel that energy toward retaking the House majority.

Leadership PACs like "Do the Work" can accept up to $5,000 per individual donor per year and can also receive money from other PACs, though they are subject to Federal Election Commission spending limits. Most leadership PACs are created by sitting members of Congress, not candidates, the Eagle-Tribune reported.

The move follows a precedent set by outgoing 6th District Rep. Seth Moulton, who created a leadership PAC called Serve America in December 2014, about a month after he was first elected. In the 2023-24 cycle, Moulton's PAC raised more than $1 million and distributed it largely to congressional incumbents and candidates in competitive races, according to FEC filings cited by the Eagle-Tribune.

Koh won the Sept. 1 primary with 31,272 votes, carrying Andover with 2,920 votes to state Rep. Tram Nguyen's 2,352. His campaign had $1.9 million on hand as of Aug. 12 and had raised more than $4.5 million through the end of June.

On primary night, Koh previewed the themes now driving the PAC. "We believe in a government that actually works for people, not special interests … We believe in an economy where families don't just get by, they get ahead," he told supporters on Sept. 1.

Koh faces Republican Micah Jones, an Essex attorney and Army veteran, in the Nov. 3 general election.
