I’m proud to join Senate Democrats in recognizing June as LGBTQ Pride Month. This month—and every month—let’s stand shoulder-to-shoulder in celebrating and honoring the LGBTQIA+ community across Washington state and the country. — PolitiTweet.org

The fight against COVID-19 is a global one, and I’m glad the U.S. is working to help get people vaccinated around the world so we can truly end this pandemic for everyone. https://t.co/VB3Ugn1F74 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For a lot of us, having the internet is a given. But I’ve heard from too many families across WA state that getting online isn’t so easy to do. We need #DigitalEquityNow, & I introduced a bill to help bridge our nation’s digital divide and make it happen. https://t.co/pyDwu2NYV1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Each year, at least 1 in 7 children experience child abuse or neglect, and unfortunately, this pandemic has only made things worse. My bipartisan legislation with @SenatorBurr would help keep children safe—and I’m glad it passed the Senate HELP committee today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I want to make sure VA is prioritizing the long-term care needs of all veterans, including veterans who’ve too often been overlooked. That’s why I introduced legislation to support long-term care & help improve VA oversight. https://t.co/DVjzCQm16L — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The American Rescue Plan is helping cities, towns, counties, and Tribes across Washington state get through this pandemic. We have to build on this success by passing policies working families need to recover fairer and stronger. https://t.co/qbYOS9Yaed — PolitiTweet.org

Every child deserves to live in a safe, secure, & stable environment free from abuse & neglect. That's why… https://t.co/dYTgGwNoqA — PolitiTweet.org

Ms. Lauren King currently chairs Foster Garvey’s Native American Law Practice Group & has served in both the Northwest Intertribal Court System & @WAGambling. She’s a citizen of Muscogee Nation and would make history by being the first Native American federal judge in WA state. https://t.co/AhzWt0FDJR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Ms. Tana Lin is currently a litigator in Seattle with a career spent dedicated to serving the public as a former public defender and civil rights champion. If confirmed, she’d be the first Asian American federal judge in WA state history. I wholeheartedly support her nomination. https://t.co/7rYy9to3Yb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Judge David Estudillo—a @UWSchoolofLaw alumni—had a distinguished career as a litigator and immigration attorney before his current role as the Presiding Judge of the Grant County Superior Court. He is well-prepared to serve as a federal district court judge. https://t.co/trtpwyOYRh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I was honored to introduce 3 long-awaited & historic nominees for federal district court vacancies in the Western District of Washington at today’s Judiciary Committee hearing. The nominees—Judge David Estudillo, Ms. Tana Lin, & Ms. Lauren King—represent the best of WA state. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This past year has shown why we must invest in a federal budget for @HHSGov that focuses on keeping our nation safe & healthy—& I’m glad the President’s budget proposal does just that. Watch live as we discuss the FY2022 budget request with @SecBecerra: https://t.co/TrEjDatmtf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congratulations to everyone in Washington state who’s already gotten their COVID-19 vaccine. Our state has administered over 7 million doses and counting! Help us get even more vaccines into arms by getting yours and making sure your loved ones do too. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congratulations @SenatorCantwell on all of your work to get the bipartisan U.S. Innovation and Competition Act passed in the Senate! This bill will strengthen our economy while helping to ensure WA state remains a leader in innovation, research, & scientific achievement. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The bipartisan bill that passed the Senate today means more good paying jobs, more investment, and greater economic prosperity overall in Washington state to make sure we can compete in an increasingly global economy. https://t.co/gF74v2saNc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today Senate Republicans blocked the #PaycheckFairness Act and voted against equal pay for all women. This commonsense, long-overdue solution would help women, their families, and our economy as a whole—and while it didn't pass today, our work is far from over. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There is absolutely nothing controversial about making sure every worker gets paid fairly for their work—women have been waiting long enough and they need the #PaycheckFairness Act now more than ever. Let’s get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #PaycheckFairness Act is very straightforward—it closes loopholes that allow pay discrimination to continue, protects workers from retaliation, limits the use of prior wage history in the hiring process, and increases transparency and accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Right now, women in the U.S. still on average earn only 82 cents on the dollar compared to their male counterparts—and the wage gap is far greater for women of color. It’s unacceptable and wrong—and the current economic and jobs crisis has only made things worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LIVE NOW: I’m speaking on the floor to urge the Senate to pass the #PaycheckFairness Act—comprehensive legislation that would help close the gender pay gap. https://t.co/rXrWU7vBTw — PolitiTweet.org
