"October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and House Democrats continue to call for Senate passage of the Violence Against Women Act, which passed the House in April."

"This bipartisan legislation reauthorizes lapsed programs that help prevent domestic violence and assist victims as they recover & seek justice. It also reauthorizes the Debbie Smith Act, a program to eliminate the backlog of untested DNA and rape kit evidence across the country."

"I am deeply disappointed that Senate Republicans refuse to take this legislation up, nor have they introduced their own #VAWA reauthorization. I urge the Senate to take up and pass the House's bill and ensure all of these critical programs are reauthorized without delay."
