Marco Rubio and I may not agree on much, but we do agree on this: permanent daylight saving time. I'm all in on getting this done. — PolitiTweet.org

The history of health inequities in this country is a long and painful one, and comprehensive action is well overdue. We must take steps to not only address the inequities of this pandemic—but to root inequity out of the health care system altogether. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Even as communities of color face more deaths & hospitalizations from COVID-19, they’re still getting vaccinated at lower rates than their white peers. The picture painted by the data so far is grim—& despite improvements, that picture is still incomplete. We’ve got to fix that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The reality of health inequities is that how you live—and even whether you live or die in a pandemic—is impacted by your race, income, zip code, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When we talk about inequities, we are talking about the reality that people’s health suffers because of systemic issues, like how far they are from quality, affordable, accessible, and culturally competent care. — PolitiTweet.org

LIVE: I'm chairing today’s HELP Committee hearing on how we can address the health inequities that have made this pandemic so much more deadly for some communities than others. https://t.co/SLGCzGXeKs — PolitiTweet.org

I introduced new legislation that would require local Tribes be consulted before the sale of the Seattle Archives, which houses critical pieces of their history and provides key services, effectively halting current efforts to sell the facility. https://t.co/XgufN9R866 — PolitiTweet.org

The people in our government should reflect the people it serves. Today, we took a new, historic step toward making that a reality with the confirmation of Dr. Rachel Levine. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I spoke on the Senate floor today about the historic nomination of @SecretaryLevine to serve as Assistant Secretary of @HHSGov. She's a highly-qualified public health expert whose knowledge & experience will be critical as our nation works to end this pandemic. https://t.co/r7hU1qpUL2 — PolitiTweet.org

.@SecretaryLevine has been on the frontlines of this pandemic, which is why she knows firsthand what our states and communities need from @HHSGov to address the challenges ahead and end it. Glad her historic nomination was confirmed today so she can get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s so important to prioritize your mental health. If you’re looking for help or need someone to talk to amid the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Washington Listens support line is free and anonymous. Call 1-833-681-0211. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It is ridiculous that in 2021, women still don’t receive equal pay for equal work. We’ve got to close the wage gap once and for all—and that starts by passing the #PaycheckFairness Act. RT if you agree. #EqualPayDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For years, Democrats have pushed for action to stop senseless killings caused by gun violence, with commonsense reforms that will save lives. For years, we’ve been blocked by Republican leaders and their special interests. Now, we can act—and we will. https://t.co/SWhM2W4LIb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thanks to @leahegriffin's bravery in sharing her experience surviving sexual assault & struggling to get care, we're working to fix the system that failed her & so many others. I'm grateful for her tireless advocacy & will keep working to ensure survivors get the care they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@BobbyScott & I are leading the charge to get rid of the unfair, anti-worker rule at EEOC that has made it easier for employers to delay or deny workers justice when they've experienced discrimination on the job. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@Vivek_Murthy is a highly experienced, crisis-tested leader and an excellent choice to return as Surgeon General. Glad he was confirmed today—and I’m looking forward to working with him to address this pandemic and the underlying health inequities it has made way worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The unfair, anti-worker EEOC rule was designed to tip the scales in favor of employers when workers try to make sure their rights on the job are enforced. There’s absolutely no reason it should stay on the books. I'm working to restore a fair process where workers can be heard. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Survivors of sexual assault deserve to be able to go to a hospital & get compassionate, experienced care from a trained provider—& a commitment to helping them get justice. My bipartisan bill with @LisaMurkowski & @RepJayapal will help ensure survivors get the support they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For many survivors of sexual assault, it’s an extremely difficult choice to disclose their assault & seek justice. We need to do everything we can to make sure that when survivors seek care, they aren’t turned away—and that’s what my bill will do. https://t.co/6ppmJ6yIX8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but this pandemic isn’t over yet. Don’t forget to wear a mask, wash your hands, practice social distancing, get tested for COVID-19 if you’re experiencing symptoms, and get vaccinated when it’s your turn. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

11 years later, the Affordable Care Act has helped millions of working families get health care—and the American Rescue Plan builds on that work to lower premiums and help millions more get, and keep, quality affordable coverage. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

What happened in Boulder yesterday is a tragedy—and unfortunately it’s one that’s all too common in our country. The best way to honor these victims & their families is to pass commonsense gun legislation without delay. — PolitiTweet.org
