Dan Koh, the Democratic Party nominee for the 6th Congressional District, visited Swampscott’s Democratic Town Committee on Wednesday, discussing his priorities for Washington and answering some questions.

Koh thanked the members for making their way to the polls in September’s Primary Election, noting that around 125,000 people cast votes. Koh is now running again Republican Party nominee Micah Jones. The election will be held Tuesday, November 3.

“I have a lot to prove to all of you,” said Koh. “It’s my job to show you, not tell you, what kind of member of Congress I will be.”

Koh said he is campaigning as if he is 10 points behind in the polls, but he would answer the audience’s questions with a forward mindset to his potential term and first year in Congress.

During his campaign for the Democratic Primary, Koh harped that he has not taken any money from corporate PAC funding. After winning the primary, Koh said he met with U.S. representatives who recommended he change his course on the matter, but he declined, Koh told the audience Wednesday.

“It stuns me to see how many people in D.C. who are Democrats continue to take PAC money,” said Koh. “As long as people elected are under the influence of corporate PAC money, you’re not going to see that kind of change.”

Koh said that if he wins the upcoming election, his first task would be to attempt to join the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to hold President Donald Trump — and everyone in Washington who has “bent the knee” to him — “accountable for his actions.”

“We should make sure that no one in America ever accepts the reality that we have seemed to accept these days,” said Koh.

Koh said he would also focus on a bold climate agenda, Medicare for All and LGBTQIA+ rights.

At the local level, Koh said it’s standard for a freshman representative to assume the office location of the predecessor, but he may go in another direction. He hinted that he plans to set up his office in a location centrally located within the 6th District. Koh’s campaign office previously told the Swampscott Tides it set up an office in Peabody for that same reason.

Looking to Swampscott, Koh said he has a meeting scheduled with the leaders of Save King’s Beach to learn more about their concerns and discuss potential solutions.

“There are so many reasons to lose hope right now, but this community, what I see in Swampscott in Lynn, is the antidote to the world of Trump,” said Koh.

Democratic Town Committee President Debbie Friedlander said she was delighted that Koh made time to stop by in Swampscott.

“We still have a lot of work to do as a district and a country,” said Koh.
