Tram for Congress Submits Signatures to Secure Place on Ballot in Race for Sixth Congressional District

Andover, MA: State Representative Tram Nguyen today announced that her campaign has officially submitted more than 2,000 certified signatures, representing residents from every town and city in the District, to qualify for the ballot in the race for the Sixth District. 

“We are building a strong grassroots campaign across the Sixth District, showing up in communities, listening to what keeps people up at night about the future and earning the trust of voters,” said Rep. Tram Nguyen. “I am grateful to the volunteers, supporters, and community members who helped us get here and who have shown that they are ready to stand alongside a Congresswoman who is a fighter and not an insider who doesn’t have their best interests in Washington.”

Since Tram launched her campaign for Congress, she has prioritized direct voter engagement and making inroads in communities, meeting with countless businesses, attending 19 Caucuses, five forums, and hosting twelve Meet & Greets where she has met with voters to hear more about what they want to see in Washington. 

The campaign has also gained important momentum through a growing list of endorsements, including more than 60 State House colleagues, community leaders, organizations and advocates who recognize Tram’s commitment to delivering results. 

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.
