Tram Nguyen Nominated For EMILY'S List Rising Star Award

State Rep. Tram Nguyen is one of six nominees for the national EMILY'S List Gabrielle Giffords Rising Star Award.

"It's an incredible honor to be included as a finalist with these accomplished women," said Rep. Nguyen. "As the first Vietnamese American woman elected into office in Massachusetts, I appreciate the barriers that my fellow nominees have broken. Like Congresswoman Giffords, I am committed to fighting for working families, for women and children, and for survivors of domestic violence and violent crimes. I'm grateful to EMILY's List for helping me further that goal."
