PIVOT Re-Endorses Tram Nguyen In Her Re-Election as State Representative of Massachusetts

August 21, 2020

PIVOT is proud to announce the re-endorsement of Tram Nguyen for her re-election as State Representative of Massachusetts. She is an accomplished legal aid attorney, and has been a fierce advocate for vulnerable populations, including people with disabilities, victims of domestic violence, seniors, and immigrants. In 2018, Tram won her election against an anti-immigrant challenger to become the first Vietnamese American woman to ever hold elected office in the history of the Commonwealth, and is currently 1 of 6 women of color in the MA legislature. Her legislative priorities include a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion; workers’ rights; environmental protection; and women’s rights and health. As a leader in the AAPI Community, Tram has served as a respected and effective leader and demonstrated on a daily basis the quality of our contribution to the American way of life.

PIVOT is grateful for Tram’s service and for her decision to run for re-election. Please support her by donating here.
