Lynn City Councilor At-Large Hong Net Endorses Tram Nguyen for Congress

Andover, MA: Today, State Representative Tram Nguyen announced the endorsement of Lynn City Councilor At-Large Hong Net. Net’s endorsement builds on endorsements from more than 60 community leaders, organizations and colleagues from the state legislature in this campaign. 

“I am proud to endorse Tram Nguyen for Congress. As a member of the Southeast Asian community, I know how vital it is to have a voice in Washington that understands our history, our struggles, and our aspirations,” said Lynn City Councilor At-Large Hong Net. “As a City Councilor in Lynn, I know our city needs a champion who will represent our diverse community with the integrity and passion we deserve. Tram has proven herself as a dedicated advocate for the North Shore, and I have full confidence that she will represent us well in D.C.”

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.
