I am working hard to ensure that this bill is re-authorized, and that survivors of domestic violence and/or sexual assault do not go unsupported.
Support reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.

Assessments
VAWA reauthorization was enacted on March 15, 2022 as Division W of Public Law 117-103. Watson Coleman was in federal office and supported the outcome through concrete legislative action, including cosponsoring VAWA reauthorization bills in 2019 and 2021, voting for House passage of those bills, and voting yea on H.R.2471, the enacted omnibus that included the 2022 VAWA reauthorization. Because the enactment occurred after the likely original campaign term but while she remained in office and contributed through votes and cosponsorship, this counts as delivered with later_term timing.
