Hinson Supports Clean VAWA Reauthorization, Rejects Partisan Additions

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Hinson released the following statement supporting the clean extension of the Violence Against Women Act, which Democrats rejected today. 

"I voted in favor of the Violence Against Women Extension Act, of which I am a proud cosponsor. This bill would extend the current, bipartisan version of the Violence Against Women Act that provides critical services to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.  Unfortunately, Democrats rejected this effort and instead advanced a partisan version of the legislation. Supporting victims of violent crimes shouldn't be a partisan issue, and I hope to work in a bipartisan manner going forward to provide resources to women and children who have endured domestic or sexual abuse." -Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
