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 set forth by the United States Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade. A woman’s health care issues are between a woman and her doctor, and decisions concerning her health must remain with the woman. I am troubled that some women do not have access to information they need to make well-informed decisions about their health and reproductive choices, or that women who are old enough to face these decisions may not be treated as old enough to make them. We must continue to defend the rights of all women facing such difficult and supremely personal decisions.
