Two thirds of Americans, including a majority of Republicans, support a $15 minimum wage and that momentum is only continuing to grow. Our efforts to ensure workers across the country finally get a long overdue raise to $15 an hour will continue. https://t.co/4EgKHJR1ID — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Democrats won't lose sight of the fact that people are working 40hrs/week but still live in poverty, and many are being paid subminimum wages. After 10+ years since the last federal minimum wage increase, the tides are turning & there is overwhelming support for Congress to act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

An investment in quality, affordable child care is an investment in lifting up economic opportunities for women and families. The American Rescue Plan is a critical step to addressing our child care crisis. https://t.co/8JXXZXgnAd — PolitiTweet.org

This report highlights the work we must do to make sure our COVID-19 resources are accessible to people with disabilities—which I'll keep fighting for as this pandemic continues. https://t.co/r39Ty5h3Qs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This effort will help more people know when & where to get a COVID-19 vaccine—something I've pushed for & is essential as we ramp up vaccinations. And let's also ensure these resources are fully accessible for people with disabilities! https://t.co/J0JJ5hRL6I — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s crucial for both the health of our students and the future of our planet that we invest in zero-emission transportation. That's why I’m proud to introduce the Clean School Bus Act, last led by @VP, to help electrify our nation's school buses. https://t.co/W9IC85LyGV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Members of the LGBTQIA+ community shouldn't be denied the full protection of the federal law, that's why we've got to get the #EqualityAct passed through the Senate and signed into law by President Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Remember to wear a mask, wash your hands, and practice social distancing. It’s on all of us to help slow the spread of COVID-19 as we work to increase vaccinations in Washington state and across the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We all know this pandemic isn’t going to be stopped by partisan politics. It’s going to be stopped by swift action, and by public health experts like @vivek_murthy and @SecretaryLevine. They should be confirmed in quick, bipartisan fashion so they can get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@SecretaryLevine was the highest-ranking health official in Pennsylvania, a position she was confirmed to with broad bipartisan support. She has a firsthand understanding of the challenges our states are facing and the support they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@vivek_murthy is a crisis-tested leader who is uniquely qualified to help the American people navigate the health challenges ahead of us. He is the right pick to serve as Surgeon General because has already done the job, and done it well. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We also need leaders who understand what our communities are going through, and who will go above and beyond to help states, cities, and Tribes get the support they need.    In other words, we need leaders like @vivek_murthy and @SecretaryLevine. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Right now, we desperately need trusted public health experts who can debunk misinformation and rumors, promote public health guidance, and encourage vaccinations and inform people about vaccine safety and efficacy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LIVE NOW: I’m leading a hearing on the nominations of @Vivek_Murthy to serve as Surgeon General and @SecretaryLevine to serve as Assistant Secretary for Health. To end this pandemic, the Biden Admin needs all hands on deck ASAP. https://t.co/rSLsZ27b62 — PolitiTweet.org

From combatting false information to prioritizing racial equity, we have a lot of work ahead to ensure we get COVID-19 vaccines to our nation’s veterans. At today’s @SVACDems hearing, I focused on making sure VA is doing all they can to vaccinate veterans across the country. https://t.co/cQ5kMtimzH — PolitiTweet.org

💉 Funding for COVID-19 vaccine distribution & administration 💵 Direct payments to Americans 💪 $15/hr minimum wage 🏪 Help for small businesses 🎒 Resources for schools 🧩  Support for child care ➕ And so much more We must pass the American Rescue Plan. — PolitiTweet.org

So many small and independent businesses have been devastated by this pandemic and the ensuing economic crisis. I support & am working to help pass the RESTAURANTS Act to provide much-needed targeted relief to struggling businesses across Washington state and our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

.@DebHaalandNM's legislative experience on natural resources and perspective as the first-ever Native American cabinet secretary make her an excellent choice to lead @Interior. I'm thrilled about her historic nomination & look forward to working with her once she's confirmed. — PolitiTweet.org

This pandemic has taken a toll on every aspect of our lives—including our mental health. The @WADeptHealth Washington Listens support line at 1-833-681-0211 is free and can help guide you to connections within your community. https://t.co/dSRG9jteZ1 — PolitiTweet.org

$30.7 million from @HUDgov will help improve public housing across WA state, and move us closer to ensuring that no family is left out in the cold, or without a safe place to self-isolate during this pandemic. https://t.co/XqZ7ahVL2k — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s unacceptable that this GOP proposal would tie giving workers a raise to a partisan attack on hard-working immigrant families. This just doesn’t come close to the $15 an hour two-thirds of Americans from both parties support—which is what we will keep working to get done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm glad some Republicans realize we need to increase the minimum wage, but this proposal to raise it by $2.75/hour over 5 years just isn't enough for those who work 40 hrs/week & still can't afford basic needs—& it leaves workers with disabilities & tipped workers out entirely. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Even before the pandemic, our nation was facing a child care crisis. When confirmed, I look forward to working with @XavierBecerra to take bold action to help working families get high quality, affordable child care & ensure our child care sector can recover from the crisis. https://t.co/mfsxZC2v7j — PolitiTweet.org
