On June 13, 2025, Trahan reflected on the enduring legacy of the Lowell Folk Festival. She stated that “For decades, the Lowell Folk Festival has brought hundreds of thousands of artists, concertgoers and visitors to the Mill City for a celebration unlike any other.” Despite financial challenges attributed to “reckless funding cuts under the Trump administration,” she emphasized that “the festival lives on – because our community knows.”
Later that day, Trahan commented on economic issues linked to cryptocurrency policies under former President Donald Trump. She remarked that “Trump promised DOGE would lower costs for Americans. Instead, it’s made life more expensive for families.”

Today, we honor the emblem that unites us all as Americans and the principles it stands for.” She added that even during challenging times, “the flag reminds us who we strive to be: a nation of liberty and justice for ALL.”
