State Rep. Ken Gordon Endorses Tram Nguyen for Congress in MA-06
Andover, MA – Today, State Representative Ken Gordon is endorsing Tram Nguyen in her campaign for Congress. Rep. Gordon’s district includes Burlington and Bedford in the Massachusetts 6th Congressional District.
“Tram is someone we can depend on to deliver results,” said Rep. Gordon. “From her support of workers and their families through unemployment reform and expanding worker protections, to her track record advocating for more resources for our public schools, I know Tram is the best person to represent the people of Bedford and Burlington in Congress.”
The endorsement of Rep. Gordon is Rep. Nguyen’s fifth endorsement from an in-district State House colleague, joining the likes of State Representatives Rich Haggerty (Reading), Dave Robertson (Tewksbury and Wilmington), Dawne Shand (Newburyport, Amesbury, and Salisbury), and Manny Cruz (Salem). Rep. Nguyen continues to demonstrate that her reputation in the State House is not just that of a fierce advocate and a coalition builder, but a collaborator her colleagues know they can depend on to deliver for their communities.
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 is the first in her family to graduate from college, earning degrees from Tufts University, Northeastern School of Law, and the Harvard Kennedy School.
Before entering public service, Tram served as an attorney at Greater Boston Legal Services, where she led the Civil Legal Assistance for Victims of Crime program. She stood up for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, veterans, immigrants, low-wage workers, and people with disabilities—people who needed not just a lawyer but a relentless advocate. 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 ever 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.
Tram Nguyen’s journey from refugee to state leader is a testament to the power of resilience, the promise of opportunity, and the belief that when we fight for one another, we all rise together.
