House Majority Leader Mike Moran Endorses Tram Nguyen for Congress
Andover, MA - Today, House Majority Leader Mike Moran announced his endorsement for Tram Nguyen’s campaign for Congress saying Tram is a “builder and a deliverer” and that the District needs her “unwavering commitment to working people in Congress.”
“Tram is not a D.C. insider or elitist, and that's exactly who we need to send to Washington. We need leaders who actually understand the day-to-day struggles of working-class families. Tram lived those struggles, and she brought that perspective straight into the State House to deliver real, structural wins for everyday people,” said Majority Leader Moran. “She is a builder and a deliverer. We need her perspective, her tenacity, and her unwavering commitment to working people in Congress. I am proud to give her my full endorsement.”
Today’s endorsement builds on the endorsements from more than 50 of Tram’s colleagues in the State House have endorsed her run for Congress, as well as numerous city and town leaders, elected officials, labor organizations throughout the district and state, Progressive Mass, the SEIU State Council and Massachusetts Governor's Councillor Eunice Zeigler.
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.
