It's great to see so many Washington state athletes compete at #Tokyo2020. We are so proud of their hard work and look forward to cheering them on in basketball, crew, softball and more! https://t.co/sUGEaESglr — PolitiTweet.org

As we continue to recover from this economic crisis, we must recognize that creating a national, comprehensive paid leave program is critical to rebuilding our economy in a way that works for everyone, not just those at the top—and we need to get it done in Build Back Better. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

COVID-19 cases across Washington state and the country are on the rise again due to the Delta variant. @CDCgov’s video has helpful information on the variant and what it means for our recovery. https://t.co/mqeSFhiESN — PolitiTweet.org

.@USGAO found that although many states worked to make voting prior to Election Day more accessible, people with disabilities still face challenges. This is unacceptable—and I look forward to working with the Biden Administration to address the recommendations in this report. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So many people who are working 40 hours a week are still living in poverty because our federal minimum wage is too low—and tipped workers, youth workers, and workers with disabilities are being paid even less. That’s unacceptable, and it’s why we need to #RaiseTheWage. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s simple: workers making the $7.25 federal minimum wage and working 40 hours a week can’t make ends meet. The current minimum wage is outdated and not livable. Workers deserve a fair wage. We have to #RaiseTheWage to $15/hour. https://t.co/THCAdGxgd2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We have an opportunity to give up to 27 million workers a raise—and help lift nearly 1 million people out of poverty—by raising the federal minimum wage to $15/hour. It’s long overdue that we #RaiseTheWage and deliver for workers and families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In the other Washington, I could see smoke from wildfires in the Pacific Northwest over the Nation’s Capitol. The climate crisis is here and we need to take major action to reduce emissions and ensure this doesn't get any worse. https://t.co/BTKKatBHwY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@USDOL's proposed rule would make a huge difference for federal contractors who would earn a livable wage. But we can’t stop fighting until we #RaiseTheWage & ensure every worker makes a minimum of $15/hr and we end subminimum wages. https://t.co/mDCQHRXNDs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Even before this pandemic, women typically had less money for retirement due to longstanding inequities, but the economic crisis has upended their finances even further. @RepUnderwood & I are working to fix this gap with legislation to strengthen women’s retirement security. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A new report found that our child care and preschool proposal in Build Back Better could help over 8 million more children and their families get the support they need. We've got to get this done—for our kids, for working families, and for our economy. https://t.co/ygNYWCFbzE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Unions mean workers—who are the ones truly making our economy run—have better wages and benefits that help them support their families and live their lives. For workers to succeed, unions need to succeed. That’s why we need to pass the #PROAct. https://t.co/Z0ZMNvCnrN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We know our economy is stronger when working families are stronger, & working families are stronger when unions are stronger. That’s why I'll keep pushing to pass the #PROAct, increase the federal minimum wage, provide a comprehensive national paid leave program, & so much more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

And this past year was an important reminder of the difference unions—& the right to organize & collectively bargain—make in countering this kind of extreme inequality. We must strengthen workers’ rights to organize & collectively bargain, & that means we must pass the #PROAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The need to update the law has long been clear, & the pandemic only underscored that. We witnessed the most unequal economic crisis in modern history unfold as women, workers of color, workers w/ disabilities, & workers w/ low incomes disproportionately lost jobs, wages, & more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

While our ways of working and our workforce have changed since the passage of the National Labor Relations Act 86 years ago, the need for workers to be able to join together and have a voice in their wages and working conditions—without fear—remains as important as ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LIVE: I’m chairing a Senate HELP Committee hearing on supporting workers & the right to organize & collectively bargain. This is our opportunity to empower workers to thrive in a 21st century economy & make sure they are treated with respect & dignity. https://t.co/gQEDnjVNhf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This pandemic has made it difficult for so many to pay their rent or mortgage while also affording other necessary expenses. The American Rescue Plan has helped make resources and support available to people across the country. Click below to learn more. https://t.co/e4H1AL9ian — PolitiTweet.org

Our country hasn’t just fallen behind on reducing maternal mortality over the last several years—we’ve actually seen the rate of maternal mortality increase, in particular for women of color. This is a crisis. We must do better for expecting mothers. #BumpDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans had the opportunity to advance a bipartisan and independent commission to investigate the January 6 insurrection. They chose not to—and @speakerpelosi’s decision here is absolutely the right one. We need truth & accountability from the select committee, not theatrics. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I want to be crystal clear so that President Biden and the administration understand me: at the very least, we need an emergency exemption from these restrictions for the Point Roberts community and in fact, we needed it yesterday. https://t.co/shCd3XBOiD — PolitiTweet.org
