This sets the stage for us to make historic investments in priorities like lowering the cost of prescription drugs, combating climate change, and expanding child care. This will deliver life-changing benefits to our families, workers, and the middle class. — PolitiTweet.org

America’s democracy is resilient, but it is also fragile. The introduction of restrictive, anti-voter bills across the country demands the restoration of federal oversight. That’s why I’m voting yes on #HR4. We must #RestoretheVote https://t.co/TLUuIDM0jr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Over the past two decades, Afghan women heeded America’s call to help advance democratic values at great personal risk. We’re urging the administration to do everything we can to evacuate them safely and rapidly. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

This article proves just how much we need to address the high cost of health care in the US. Price transparency is one tool, ending pharma's abuse of pricing power is another. https://t.co/tEWzJK2zpD — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the @VTLakeMonsters ! — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden’s action to increase SNAP benefits means families will be able to afford healthy food & children will not have to go to school or to bed hungry. It’s not an exaggeration to say this will be life-changing for families across the country. https://t.co/ZjvbQFefJu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

We honor Rep. John Lewis by continuing his fight for justice and equality. That is why I’m cosponsoring H.R. 4 to restore protections against racial discrimination in voting. Vermonters know our democracy is stronger when we make voting easier and more people have a voice. https://t.co/I3vulPgOYs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

I’m so inspired by the work @JennasPromise is doing and was honored to join @SenSanders at today’s ribbon cutting for Jenna’s House, a recovery center that will provide hope and support for families and individuals struggling with addiction. https://t.co/BesEIP6Kcc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Congress must pass our Clean Energy Standard that centers renewable energy and protects and invests in communities while keeping harmful energy sources like natural gas out of the Energy Standard. #RenewableFuture — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Climate must be front and center in recovery - that's why I introduced the American #RenewableEnergyAct with @RepYvetteClarke. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

The expanded #ChildTaxCredit is one of the most significant, pro-family, anti-poverty programs since the Roosevelt administration. With the next round of monthly tax cuts going out today, I’d love to hear how the CTC has helped your family. https://t.co/QS9fImnvqZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Enough is enough. We must lower prescription drug prices and address healthcare disparities within our communities with the urgency this moment demands. Thank you to @ProtectOurCare for stopping by in Burlington today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

This report is clear: we are driving the climate crisis & climate change is intensifying deadly weather, natural disasters & sea level rise. But there is opportunity here too. Together, we can fight for a fairer, cleaner future. The time to act is now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

On the 56th anniversary of the #VotingRightsAct we must recommit ourselves to expanding access to the ballot. Democracy means we should compete based on our ideas, not using tools of voter suppression. Now, more than ever, we must pass the For the People Act. https://t.co/7Z2puGn8tC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

And we're so excited to cheer you on, Elle! From a dairy farmer, to representing our country on the world stage in Tokyo - you make Vermonters proud! https://t.co/NB331t5WCZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

It’s commonsense: allowing small businesses to participate in energy saving & demand response programs at little to no-cost is good for those businesses, good for local jobs, & good for our planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Today marks the 56th anniversary of Medicare & Medicaid, two landmark programs that provide essential health services to millions of Americans. Now more than ever, we must defend and improve these important programs to ensure quality and affordable health care for all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

It's #NationalInternDay! Interns play a vital role on #TeamWelch and applications for the Fall session are due by Friday, 8/20. Paid internships are available in Peter's Burlington and D.C. offices. 🖱️👇 for more information! https://t.co/XkDejcVI71 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Lifesaving drugs aren’t helpful if Americans can’t afford them and Big Pharma's abuse of pricing power too often makes the promise of these drugs unreachable for many. It’s time we allow Medicare to negotiate #LowerDrugCosts for the American people. https://t.co/wHYloVLzbd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

When activated, @GreenMtnPower's Panton system will become the first U.S. utility-built community microgrid able to run on renewable energy without a fossil-fuel backup! Leading by example the Vermont way: with optimism & determination. https://t.co/0ty0Kmwb79 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

31 years ago the #ADA was signed into law, thanks to the hard work of activists in the disability rights movement. While we celebrate the progress we've made, we must recommit ourselves to the fight to make our communities more inclusive & equitable for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Wishing the best of luck to all of the athletes competing in the #TokyoOlympics! Vermonters will be cheering on our own Brooke Mooney, @ellepurrier & @ilona_maher representing @TeamUSA on the world stage – you make us proud! https://t.co/wRorALrhDe — PolitiTweet.org

"It's in embracing this challenge that we help one another, that we strengthen our economy, that we make our communities safer, and we respect and love our neighbors, that's what this struggle is about." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Make no mistake, we are in a climate emergency and this is yet another urgent example of how its effects are being felt by Vermonters. We need to address this head on, without delay. https://t.co/FOGSe81xg9 — PolitiTweet.org

Onward! — PolitiTweet.org

All aboard! Amtrak service is back in Vermont! Amtrak provides a wonderful gateway to Vermont for tourists and commuters alike. @POTUS, when are you coming to take a ride on The Vermonter? https://t.co/G1t8xv20t9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Vermont knows: democracy means we should be competing based on our ideas, not using tools of voter suppression. We must be proactive in our fight against these attacks on voting rights & pass the For the People Act now. — PolitiTweet.org
