Danvers School Committee Member Sean Doherty Endorses Tram Nguyen for Congress

Andover, MA – Today, State Representative Tram Nguyen announced the endorsement of Danvers School Committee Member Sean Doherty. Doherty’s endorsement follows on the campaign’s announcement that Representative Nguyen was endorsed by more than 40 colleagues from the state legislature in this campaign. 

“I’m supporting Tram Nguyen for Congress because she has the track record, the determination, and the heart to meet this moment,” said Danvers School Committee Member Doherty. “She is the kind of fearless advocate and partner Danvers needs, because she takes the time to listen and learn. I know she will deliver for us and our neighboring communities on Day One.”

ABOUT TRAM T. NGUYEN: State Representative Tram Nguyen has overcome tough challenges her entire life. At just five years old, Tram came to the United States as a refugee after her family fled Vietnam’s authoritarian regime with only $100, a few suitcases, and a dream.

She has always been a fighter, becoming the first in her family to graduate from college, and as an attorney with the Greater Boston Legal Services standing up for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, veterans, immigrants, low-wage workers, and people with disabilities. In that role, Tram became a member of UAW Local 2320.

In 2018, Tram took on a deeply entrenched Republican incumbent and won by ten points, making history as the first Vietnamese American woman elected to public office in Massachusetts. Since then, she has served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives as a bold champion for climate action, affordable housing, workers’ rights, and economic opportunity for all.
