Nguyen Leads Field in Releasing Tax Returns – Challenges Opponents to Meet ‘Minimum’ Transparency Standard
Andover, MA - State Representative Tram Nguyen today released five years of her tax returns, leading the field of Sixth District candidates in transparency and challenging her opponents to follow her lead.
“Trust in government, particularly in this Congress and this White House, is historically low and we need leaders who are willing to build that back by setting an example and setting a high bar for transparency and openness,” said Nguyen. “My opponents shouldn’t have any trouble meeting this minimum transparency standard, particularly those who are eagerly using their insider connections and personal wealth to fund their campaigns.”
Nguyen released to the media tax returns from the last five years, from 2021 through 2025. The returns show individual income ranging from $82,056 in 2021 to $96,009 when she filed individual returns and $232,038 in 2025 when filing jointly with her husband, a mechanical engineer. Together, they paid more than $33,000 in federal taxes and more than $11,000 in Massachusetts income taxes last year.
Nguyen has represented Andover, Boxford, North Andover and Tewksbury in the Massachusetts Legislature since beating a MAGA Republican in 2018. Prior to that, she worked as a staff attorney for Greater Boston Legal Services, fighting for those too often left behind, including survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, veterans, immigrants, low wage workers, and people with disabilities. She is the first in her family to graduate from college and law school.
“Taking this step is important to me because I hear all the time how voters in this district are eager to have a candidate not fueled by or beholden to the special interests,” said Nguyen. “My career has been in public service – first to victims and survivors and now to the people of my district and the Commonwealth. I can’t wait to continue that service as a Congresswoman.”
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.
