Moulton, a Harvard graduate, joined the Marines in 2001 and served four tours in Iraq, and he was twice decorated for heroism by the U.S. military. Still, as the son of Vietnam War protesters, he has criticized the decision-making behind the Iraq War.
“While I believe that the war was a mistake, I don’t regret doing what I could to serve our country,” he said in a campaign video.
Moulton was elected to Congress as a Democrat in 2014.
