Today I met with students, faculty, and community members at @EverettCC to talk about how the Pell Grant increase I secured—the biggest in over a decade—will help so many students. This is an important step, and I'll keep pushing for more. https://t.co/wHpuv05doB — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act is lowering prescription drug costs for seniors in Washington state. House Republicans already want to repeal it. Shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So glad I could tour the Lacey MakerSpace today, an important hub for supporting entrepreneurs across the South Sound that I helped secure critical federal dollars to support. Their work is critical to making sure WA state is competitive in the 21st century economy. https://t.co/oEP9aGsRr9 — PolitiTweet.org

I ran for office as a mom in tennis shoes fighting to make child care work for working families. Now, there are so many more moms, dads, kids, educators, & state legislators in tennis shoes by my side. I am fired up because I know together, we will get this done. https://t.co/efgw02c8AE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thrilled to be back in Olympia today to talk about one of the reasons I got involved in politics in the first place: child care. Our child care crisis is hurting everyone—kids, parents, workers, our economy—and we have to do better. I’ll keep fighting. https://t.co/QLT7L03vsD — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans aren't hiding their extreme end goal on abortion: they want to ban abortion in all 50 states. I will keep fighting to stop them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The housing crisis is touching every corner of Washington state. The local leaders and organizations I met with today are doing such important work to build and manage more affordable housing units across the region, and I'll keep doing everything I can to support them. https://t.co/5dZh0JuG8K — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So great to join transit agency leaders from the Puget Sound region today to discuss our federal efforts to support their work here at home. Whether it’s electric buses or new light rail systems, we'll keep working to bolster our region's transit systems. https://t.co/VEGOzqYxpX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The pandemic pushed our already bad mental health crisis to a breaking point. I’ve been working every day to make sure we are throwing everything we’ve got at this crisis—including by getting significant new resources for Washington state passed into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I was at @Neighborcare's Meridian clinic to discuss the heartbreaking effects the mental health & substance disorder crises have had on Seattle. I successfully fought to get local leaders more federal support to tackle these issues—& I'll keep pushing for more. https://t.co/VoSpmD4dKN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Port of Pasco is critical to Central Washington's economy and an important source of jobs. The federal funding I secured for the Reimann Last Mile Rail Project will extend the railroad tracks and support even more job growth on the ground. https://t.co/NJWs1XkFFr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today we honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and continue the fight that he championed for equality and justice. Whether it's strengthening voting rights or rooting out racism in every aspect of American life, that work is just as important as ever. #MLKDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For the first time in history, four women will be leading the committees responsible for determining how our government spends money—and frankly, it should not have taken so long. Let's keep electing women and making sure Congress looks more like America. https://t.co/n5lREGETtx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

🚨 Today is the last day to #GetCoveredWA during the open enrollment period. There are plenty of affordable health care plans available for people across Washington state. Click here to learn more and look for plans: https://t.co/VpIwaLMrUY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Voters across the country sent a clear message when abortion rights won in every single place they were on the ballot: they don't want Republicans' abortion extremism. Republicans don't care. But I do—and I'll keep fighting back. https://t.co/4AxWtLkbrz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

TOMORROW is the last day for WA state to sign-up for affordable health care coverage during open enrollment. This is a great opportunity to get you and your loved ones covered. Click below for more information. #GetCoveredWA https://t.co/siZNAAVKqG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Whether it’s caring for a sick loved one or managing their own health, every single worker should have paid leave. It’s a shame our country still doesn't guarantee paid leave—and I won't stop fighting until we do. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our maternal mortality crisis is alarming & heartbreaking—mothers in the U.S. are at greater risk of death during childbirth than any other developed nation. That's why I secured a major increase in funding to help lower our maternal mortality rate & protect women's lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Nearly 16 million people have signed up for health insurance during this open enrollment period—a new record. That's great news! And, there's still time for people in Washington state – you have through January 15 to get covered. Click here to learn more: https://t.co/VpIwaLMrUY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I made sure the end-of-year government spending package included a big funding boost to help families afford child care. But we’ve got to keep making progress—and deliver the bold change families are counting on. I’ll keep working to fix our child care crisis once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Too many people in Washington state are struggling with depression, stress, and anxiety. We need to get them more support, and that’s why I fought hard to successfully secure more mental health resources in our end-of-year government spending package. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Bolstering support for families with the tightest budgets to heat and cool their homes is one of the many ways Congress helped lower costs for families in Washington state and across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Not even a week into their new majority & House Republicans are full speed ahead with their attacks on women’s reproductive rights. This is just the start: Republicans have made clear they want a national abortion ban too. Not on my watch. I'll keep fighting back in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Time after time over the last few years, we saw how our response to this pandemic could have, and should have, been better. That's why I fought so hard to pass my bipartisan PREVENT Pandemics Act—legislation that helps build a strong public health system. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We need to protect every woman's ability to make her own health care decisions. We need to restore #RoeVWade. RT if you agree. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'll keep working at the federal level to make sure we build on the bipartisan gun control law passed last year, and that includes passing an assault weapons ban. This is about keeping our families and communities safe. https://t.co/mgmZA3gacE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As the incoming Chair and Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, @SenatorCollins and I are committed to funding the government and passing the Senate’s appropriations bills through regular order. Read our joint statement. https://t.co/SgPEpg0ILb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congratulations to @aprilr_sims on her historic election to lead @WAAFLCIO! April is a thoughtful, passionate advocate for workers and their families and I have no doubt she will do a wonderful job as President of the Washington State Labor Council. https://t.co/7FKM6j7Eu7 — PolitiTweet.org
