Ken Gordon Secures Healey, Markey Endorsements in 21st Middlesex Race

BURLINGTON, MA — State Rep. Ken Gordon noted two major endorsements in his 21st Middlesex District re-election campaign on Monday, with Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey and US Senator Ed Markey both voicing their support.

Gordon, who has served in the legislature since 2013, is in the midst of a primary campaign against challenger Timmy Sullivan. He shared the endorsements on Twitter.

“Ken has been a steady voice for the people, especially when it comes to issues affecting our climate and the protection of civil rights,” Markey said in his endorsement. “He does his homework, and because of that he gets results.”

“Ken has been a great partner in the legislature, from protecting our LGBTQ+ community to standing up for workers’ rights,” Healey said. “He is a reliable teammate who cares about his constituents and the people of Massachusetts.”

Gordon has secured previous endorsements from the Coalition for Social Justice, Reproductive Equity Now and the SEIU Local 509 union.

The 21st Middlesex District will include Burlington, Bedford and portions of Lexington beginning with this year's election cycle following redistricting.

This year’s Democratic primary is set for Sept. 6.

Early voting starts on Aug. 27.
