Lori Trahan, U.S. Congresswoman representing Massachusetts’ 3rd district since 2019, announced several updates via her social media account on December 3, 2025. Her posts addressed local infrastructure developments, legislative actions affecting college athletes, and the future of disability education law.
In a tweet posted at 20:01 UTC, Trahan highlighted new transportation infrastructure for local communities: “Big news for families in Fitchburg & Leominster, and everywhere in between: Phase III of the Twin Cities Rail Trail is officially open and brings folks together with a safe and accessible way to get around, stay healthy and enjoy the area.”
Shortly after, at 20:03 UTC, she commented on recent legislative proceedings concerning student athletes: “The SCORE Act was pulled from consideration because it simply didn’t have the votes, a clear sign that Members on both sides saw it for what it was: a gift to the NCAA and Power Two conferences at the expense of athletes. This bill would have imposed new restrictions on athletes”.
Later that evening at 21:44 UTC, Trahan marked an anniversary for federal disability education policy while expressing concern about its future: “For 50 years, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act has supported our students with disabilities and their families. Donald Trump cannot be allowed to dismantle this landmark law that helps students achieve their full potential.”
Trahan has represented Massachusetts’s 3rd District in Congress since succeeding Niki Tsongas in 2019. Before her tenure in Congress, she served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. Born in Lowell in 1973 and currently residing in Westford, Trahan graduated from Georgetown University with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1995.
