BOSTON -- Congresswoman Lori Trahan is seeking to keep her top leadership post in the U.S. House of Representatives after winning another term in the Nov. 5 election.
Trahan, a Westford Democrat who easily won another two-year term after facing no opposition, formally announced Wednesday that she is seeking reelection as a co-chair of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee when Democrats meet Nov. 19 to decide on their leadership.
