Congress.gov lists Rep. Trahan, Lori [D-MA-3] as an original cosponsor of H.R.1620 on 03/08/2021. Congress.gov describes H.R.1620 as modifying and reauthorizing programs under VAWA that seek to prevent and respond to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.

Shows Trahan took concrete later-term legislative action to advance VAWA reauthorization and survivor-service programs, though H.R.1620 itself passed the House but was not the final enacted vehicle.
