US.- Governor Maura Healey, Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell, and Treasurer and Receiver General Deborah Goldberg have reappointed Jordan Maynard as commissioner for the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) for a second five-year term. Governor Healey also redesignated Maynard as chair of the commission.
Maynard was initially appointed commissioner in 2022. He became interim chair in March 2024 and full-time chair in October of the same year.
The commission has five full-time commissioners, one appointed by the governor, one by the attorney general, one by the treasurer, and two by joint appointment. The governor is responsible for designating the chair.
From February 2019 through July 2022, Maynard served as chief secretary and director of boards and commissions for the Office of the Governor. Before entering state service, he worked as a civil attorney.
Maynard said: “I am humbled and honoured to be reappointed as commissioner and to continue serving as chair of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission and I am grateful for the trust the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and Treasurer have placed in me. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission is the model gaming regulatory agency in the country because of the dedicated staff and my fellow commissioners.
“Working closely with our licensed operators we strive to make legal gaming in Massachusetts safe, responsible, and accountable to the people of the Commonwealth. I look forward to continuing this work and addressing the ongoing efforts to maintain the strongest consumer and player protections.”
