Tram T. Nguyen (Vietnamese: Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Trâm; born June 22, 1986) is an American politician serving as a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from the 18th Essex District.
Prior to being elected as the first Vietnamese-American woman in the Massachusetts Legislature, Nguyen was an attorney at Greater Boston Legal Services providing support for survivors of domestic violence, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, low-wage workers, and others from vulnerable communities.
Nguyen graduated from Methuen High School and enrolled at Tufts University as a first-generation college student.
However, her involvement with Jumpstart led Tram to realize that she wanted to continue to help families such as these and preferred to make change through policy, not medicine.
Nguyen won with a 54% majority victory, a win that she credits to an "aggressive campaign focused on making constituents' voices heard".
