Representative Ken Gordon (D-Bedford), 21st Middlesex District, will be the guest speaker at the Lexington League’s December 2, 2022 First Friday, 9:30 AM, in the large meeting room of Cary Library, 1874 Mass Ave, Lexington MA 02420.  This First Friday marks the return to in-person meetings at the library of the League’s long-running First Friday series. Lex Media will record the forum and it will be available on their website.

Representative Gordon will join the Lexington delegation to the Massachusetts State House in January, joining with Senators Michael Barrett, Cindy Friedman and Representative Michelle Ciccolo. Due to the recent redistricting of the Senate and House, precinct 6 of Lexington is now in the 21st Middlesex district. This will be an opportunity for both his constituents and other citizens to hear from Rep. Gordon about his experiences in the House and his priorities going forward.

Representative Kenneth I. Gordon (D-Bedford) has served the 21st Middlesex District since he was first inaugurated in 2013. He currently serves as House Chair of the Joint Committee on Public Service. Gordon studied journalism at Northeastern University and graduated cum laude from Suffolk Law School. In addition to his role in the Massachusetts Legislature, Gordon continues to practice as an attorney representing employees who have suffered discrimination or wrongful termination and small businesses in employment and commercial matters. Gordon lives in Bedford with his wife Breena and their son Brandon.
