Why this race

An attorney who has actually fought for small operators.

Tram arrived in Lawrence with her family in 1992 at age five, the first in her family to attend college (Tufts, Northeastern Law, Harvard Kennedy School), and worked as a civil rights attorney at Greater Boston Legal Services before flipping a four-term Republican State House seat by more than 2,000 votes in 2018.

As a civil rights attorney, Tram represented working people whose landlords, lenders, and employers had broken the rules. As a state representative, she has pushed for property tax relief, worker training credits, and small-business permitting reform.

Federal policy still tilts toward consolidation. Tram is running to push it back: clearer SBA access, real antitrust enforcement against monopoly buyers, and a tax code that rewards reinvestment in your shop, not stock buybacks at someone else's.

Local-built

Tram's donor base is concentrated in the district she would represent. Her opponent's is overwhelmingly out-of-district.

What Tram is fighting for

Three pillars. Where this coalition fits.

Pillar 01 · Lowering Costs

Bring down the cost of food, childcare, healthcare, energy

Take on consolidation, surprise pricing, and giveaways to corporate insiders. Reward the people doing the work, not the people skimming off the top.

Pillar 02 · Housing

Build housing people can actually afford

Pass federal incentives that get homes built faster, lower mortgage and rent costs, and make first-home ownership reachable for working families in MA-06.

Pillar 03 · Defending Democracy

Defend democracy from extremism

Stand up against authoritarian power grabs and the steady chipping-away of our rights. Voting rights, reproductive rights, the rule of law, all on the line.

Why early matters

Early money is more valuable than late money.

The September 2026 Democratic primary is open. The candidate who wins it has the inside track on the seat. Money raised right now hires the field organizers, books the events, and pays for the SMS that turn out the votes that decide it.
