NextImg:Congresswoman Lori Trahan, a Lowell Democrat, reports bomb threat against her home

U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan said she and her family are safe after she was “made aware” of a bomb threat targeting her home Saturday morning.

Officers from the Westford Police Department responded “to make sure we were safe” and are working with the Massachusetts State Police and United States Capitol Police to investigate the incident, Trahan said in a statement.

“It’s a good time to say the obvious: threats of violence and intimidation have no place in our country,” Trahan said.

Spokespeople for the Westford Police Department, Massachusetts State Police, and United States Capitol Police did not immediately respond to Herald inquiries.

Trahan has represented Massachusetts’ Third Congressional District since 2019 and is a co-chair of the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee. She is also a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Trahan is not the first federal lawmaker to receive a bomb threat over the past month.

Six Democratic members of Congress from Connecticut were targeted on Thanksgiving by bomb threats at their homes.

Sen. Chris Murphy and Reps. Jim Himes, Joe Courtney, John Larson, Jahana Hayes, and Rosa DeLauro reported the threats. Law enforcement authorities found no evidence of explosives on their properties.
