Iraq War vet Moulton wins Massachusett's 6th District

Moulton stunned the state during the primary when he defeated nine-term incumbent Democratic Rep. John Tierney, the first sitting Massachusetts congressman to lose a primary since 1992.

During the general election, Moulton faced Tisei, who had run a hard-fought race against Tierney two years ago and narrowly lost.

Tisei had tried to cast Moulton as a mirror image of Tierney.

But Moulton was able to parlay both his service in — and ultimately his opposition to — the Iraq War as a powerful campaign pitch to voters.

Moulton is a 35-year-old businessman and Harvard University graduate who enlisted in the Marines in 2001.
