I'm thrilled to have secured funding for projects in every corner of WA state in the latest government spending bill. Directing funding to projects across the state is one of the most important ways I make sure WA state families are heard in Congress. Here's the summary ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Senate just passed our end-of-year government spending bill! I took the stories of Washington state families with me into every negotiation I entered as I helped write this bill, because it should—and does—reflect our state's priorities and values. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I was honored to help escort @ZelenskyyUa to his historic address to Congress. The United States stands with the people of Ukraine in their struggle against Russia’s unprovoked assault on a peaceful democratic nation. 🇺🇸🇺🇦 https://t.co/gm2tBq7A3r — PolitiTweet.org

@HELPCmteDems The HELP Committee's work is deeply personal to me. As a former preschool teacher, a mother, and a grandmother, it has meant so much to me to have this opportunity to lead us forward on so many of the issues that motivated me to get involved in politics in the first place. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@HELPCmteDems And now, this committee is on track to pass even more historic legislation—like the PREVENT Pandemics Act, an important FDA package, greater access to retirement plans, and bipartisan mental health and substance use disorder legislation to truly address these crises. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@HELPCmteDems HELP worked quickly to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The historic, bipartisan relief packages we put together addressed everything from child care to getting shots in arms, kids safely back in school for in-person learning, businesses open, & people back to their daily lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@HELPCmteDems From the Every Student Succeeds Act and 21st Century Cures Act with former Senator Alexander, to the No Surprises Act and SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, my time on HELP has been driven by finding common ground and delivering bipartisan solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Live on the Senate floor, I'm looking back at my time leading @HELPCmteDems—a committee I truly feel represents the heart and soul of our country's values. https://t.co/dpu2E9bhU3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

With the holidays right around the corner, do your part to help keep yourself and those around you safe and healthy. If you haven't already, get your COVID-19 booster (and your flu shot too!). — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The end-of-year government funding package released today is a big deal. It includes so many bipartisan priorities I have been fighting to get done. Families across the country sent us here to work for them, and this legislation will help us deliver in so many ways. https://t.co/qYsL9uGQqE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Supporting #TitleX should be a bipartisan priority we can all get behind. But Republicans’ extreme position on reproductive rights has led them to block our efforts to strengthen this crucial program. I'll keep fighting—this shouldn't be controversial. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We badly need reform to protect our democracy—that's why I'm pushing to make sure we get the Electoral Count Act across the finish line this year. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It was an honor to be on the Senate floor today as @SenatorLeahy gave his farewell speech. Pat's leadership of @SenateApprops has made such a difference for families in this country and left a lasting impression that I will strive to build on every day. https://t.co/79zhseFKLo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

You can now order an additional 4 free at-home COVID-19 tests. Testing remains an important part of preventing the spread of COVID-19, especially as we head into winter and the holidays. Click here to order your tests: https://t.co/kiSvq9dA4Z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I voted to convict Donald Trump because he incited an insurrection and is unfit for office—I still believe that. I'm grateful for the work of the January 6th committee to get the facts, present the truth, and make clear that no one is above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Too many people in Washington state and across the country struggle to find an affordable roof to put over their head. I'm working to tackle this from every angle—whether it's increasing our housing supply or getting more housing vouchers to people who need it most. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Here's the bottom line: every woman should be able to get an abortion if she wants one regardless of what state she lives in. That's what we've got to keep working towards. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If there’s any opportunity to move the needle on child care, I'm pushing to take it. This issue won't just go away. Families need child care, and we've got make sure they can find and afford it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Growing Washington state's economy means creating more good-paying jobs for as many people as we can. The bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act is helping do just that—all while ensuring we’re making semiconductor chips right here in the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Salmon are a way of life for Washington state. That’s why in this year’s WRDA, I fought to make sure it included resources to restore critical salmon habitats across our state. This legislation is great news for salmon & Washington state. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When working parents can't take time off to care for themselves or a sick loved one, that's not just morally wrong—it's bad for businesses, too. Working families need paid leave, and I'll keep fighting to get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Whether it’s protecting Puget Sound ecosystems, upgrading our ports, or ensuring clean drinking water, I made sure we got a lot of great things included in this legislation for WA state. Next stop: @POTUS’s desk https://t.co/SYrv9j48Cq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The lives of people with disabilities everywhere are better because of Lois Curtis. I join so many touched by her advocacy in mourning her passing and remembering her life and the invaluable contributions she made to civil rights. https://t.co/FgxCbjbW8y — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The defense authorization bill we passed... ✅ Raises our servicemembers' pay ✅ Helps address sexual assault in the military ...and so much more to support our servicemembers and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Just passed the Senate: the annual defense authorization bill that makes real progress to take care of Washington state's military families. This is a good step, but there's more we can and should do to build a stronger, fairer future for us all. https://t.co/kTJPLkNcsh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans’ extreme abortion bans are putting services that people rely on to help build a family—like IVF—at risk of being ripped away. I’m introducing legislation with @SenDuckworth to protect everyone’s right to build a family on their own terms. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today is the LAST day to #GetCoveredWA and enroll in a @WAplanfinder plan for coverage to start on January 1. Click here to learn more and browse plans: https://t.co/VpIwaLMrUY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Just now, I was on the Senate floor—AGAIN—to block a GOP bill that would make it harder for women to get abortion care. When I say Republicans are not done ripping away a woman's ability to make her own health care decisions, I mean it. I will not give up this fight. https://t.co/xokNk46OWu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While the American Rescue Plan saved thousands of restaurants, its Restaurant Revitalization Fund left too many behind. That’s why I’m pushing for a new tax credit to make sure restaurants—which are the heart and soul of our communities—get the support they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today we remember the children and educators who were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary 10 years ago. We've made progress to address the gun violence epidemic in our country, but not nearly enough to stop these heartbreaking shootings. The work can and must continue. — PolitiTweet.org
