"You know, now is the time to look at where the needs might be, where there are some things that we should be looking at if we are going to be reauthorizing."

"I cannot stress enough how important it is for Congress to reauthorize VAWA to sustain, strengthen, and enhance our Nation's efforts to end violence against women."

"Senator Murray, a long-time supporter of VAWA, has introduced a bill I am proud to cosponsor."

"Now that we have settled all the problems of the world, up here are Senator Franken and Senator Klobuchar, Senator Sessions, and Senator Hatch."
