Progressive Mass Endorses Tram Nguyen for Congress

Andover, MA -  Progressive Massachusetts (Progressive Mass) today endorsed Tram Nguyen’s campaign for Congress, saying when it comes to some of the key areas under attack from the Trump Administration, “Tram can be counted on to fight back.” 

Progressive Mass is a grassroots organization that focuses on advancing progressive initiatives across the state, fostering an open and inclusive political environment, and fighting for a vision of shared prosperity, racial and social justice, good government and strong democracy, and environmental sustainability in Massachusetts.

“Tram Nguyen has a proven track record of fighting for working families, both as an attorney at Greater Boston Legal Services and a state representative and brings the lived experience of both an immigrant and a union member,” said Progressive Mass Policy Director Jonathan Cohn. “Since defeating a conservative Republican incumbent in the State House in 2018, she has been a reliable champion of legislation to protect workers, from expanding unemployment benefits during the pandemic to increasing the minimum wage to protecting injured workers from retaliation. At a time when immigrants' rights, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, workers' rights, and climate action are under attack every day from the Trump administration, Tram can be counted on to fight back.”

Nguyen secured more than 60% of the member vote after all candidates in the race for the Sixth Congressional District submitted responses to a comprehensive policy questionnaire. 

Momentum for Nguyen continues to build, with endorsements coming in from the SEIU State Council and Massachusetts Governor's Councillor Eunice Zeigler who announced their support this week, and more than fifty of her colleagues in the State House, numerous city and town leaders, and six other labor organizations throughout the district and state.
