Assessments

delivered later_term

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.
