In his five terms in the legislature, Rep. Ken Gordon has shown a keen ability to get results for Bedford, Burlington and for our Commonwealth. He looks forward to partnering with Rep. Ciccolo to help Lexington through his representation of Precinct 6. This session, he has worked hard to support the district’s residents and small businesses emerge from the Covid crisis. He obtained $225,000 in state-administered federal funding to support small business through the Burlington and Bedford Chambers of Commerce.
I believe a woman has a right to make her own health care choices. This right is guaranteed by the Constitution’s right to privacy, as has been set forth for the last 50 years by the United States Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade. However, this right is being called into question. That is why I co-sponsored and fought hard for Massachusetts’ answer to the Federal push to weaken or overturn Roe v. Wade. Here in Massachusetts, a woman’s health care issues will remain between that woman and her health care provider, and decisions concerning her health must remain with the woman. We must continue to defend the rights of all women facing such difficult and supremely personal decisions.
