Later that day, Trahan reminisced about the influence of her father, a Local 7 Ironworker, on her career.

She shared her pleasure in meeting a fellow Local 7 member, Frank, on Capitol Hill, discussing her father's work experiences and her support for union workers.

On another post dated April 10, 2025, Trahan critically addressed budget allocations under the nickname DOGE, highlighting discrepancies in governmental spending priorities. She wrote, " What DOGE labels as 'waste, fraud and abuse': public education, veterans’ health care and the Social Security Administration" and contrasted this with " What DOGE considers 'vital government spending': using taxpayer dollars to keep cookies warm for Trump’s Interior Secretary".

Lori Trahan, born in 1973 in Lowell, Massachusetts, and educated at Georgetown University, continues to advocate for constituents from her base in Westford, infusing her legislative work with personal heritage and public commitment.
