Rep. Michael Capuano conceded defeat in a Democratic primary Tuesday to Boston City Councilwoman Ayanna Pressley, who beat 10-term incumbent after promising to be a more "activist" representative in tune with a changing district.

Pressley had 55 percent of the vote to Capuano's 45 percent with 19 percent of precincts reporting after Capuano conceded.

Pressley, the first woman of color elected to Boston's City Council, is now on course to break the same barrier in Massachusetts' congressional delegation.
