Kay Hagan | U.S. Senator for North Carolina

U.S. Senator Kay R. Hagan (NC) applauded the Senate Judiciary Committee for passing the bipartisan Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2011 (VAWA 2011). The Act included Hagan's Violence Against Women Health Initiative, intended to raise awareness of domestic violence among health care providers, allowing them to better assess and treat survivors of domestic violence.

While Democratic politicians across North Carolina are declaring themselves in or out of the race for governor, Sen. Kay Hagan said Friday she never gave it a thought. She's focused on doing the job she's got.

Senator Hagan wishes all North Carolinians a cheerful and safe holiday season, and a Happy New Year.
