Commissioner Jordan Maynard named Interim Chair of Massachusetts Gaming Commission

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has named Commissioner Jordan Maynard as the state Gaming Commission’s Interim Chair. Maynard’s appointment follows a recent announcement of Cathy Judd-Stein’s retirement.

Maynard has served as Commissioner since 2022.

Governor Healey voiced her appreciation for Maynard’s work on the Commission by saying, “Since joining the Commission, Jordan Maynard has proven to be a leader in this space. He has worked with people across the gaming industry and has helped oversee Massachusetts gaming regulations.

“We are grateful for his service as he takes over as Interim Chair and look forward to working with him more closely,” said Governor Maura Healey. “In the meantime, we continue our search for a permanent chair.”

The Commission is comprised of five full-time commissioners. Currently, the Governor’s office is looking for someone to fill the role as the permanent chair.

Maynard commented on stepping in the interim role by saying, “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.

“Since beginning as a commissioner, I have been consistently impressed with the level of professionalism and expertise displayed by the Commission staff. Without this committed team, commissioners would not be able to execute our responsibilities.

“We will lean on their experience and judgement as we continue addressing the issues facing the Massachusetts gaming, horse racing, and sports wagering industries. I look forward to working with our licensees and stakeholders to continue prioritizing consumer protections and responsible gaming.”
