Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey appointed Jordan Maynard as interim chair of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission on Thursday following the announced retirement of Cathy Judd-Stein.
On the same day that Judd-Stein ended her five-year term with the MGC, Healey tapped Maynard to fill the void on a temporary basis. Maynard joined the MGC as a commissioner two years ago when he received a joint appointment from former Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, then-Attorney General Healy, and State Treasurer Deb Goldberg.
“I am honored that Governor Healey and Lieutenant Governor Driscoll have entrusted me with this responsibility and thank my fellow commissioners, who are essential to the continued success of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, for their partnership and support,” said Maynard in a statement.

Before entering state service, Maynard worked as a civil attorney, including as an advocate for individuals with disabilities before the Social Security Administration, according to the MGC.
