True equality for all Americans means making sure everyone can fully participate in our democracy—and that includes the 700,000 residents of Washington, DC. I'm proud to support #DCStatehood & will help fight to get this bill over the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 vaccines offer a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel but we aren't out of it yet. We all must keep taking precautions to protect ourselves and our loved ones. https://t.co/NGquCHFXlt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our economy works best when workers and families are able to succeed. It’s time to #RaiseTheWage to $15 an hour and end the subminimum wage for tipped workers and workers with disabilities. https://t.co/88eD8uAIXN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Democrats' to-do list is long—and it’s ambitious, because it has to be given all we face. To families in my home state of Washington: we know how difficult things are, and we’re getting to work fast. https://t.co/g4JxzN2ZLX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There is no doubt we have a lot of work ahead to restore America's position on the world stage. @ABlinken's decades of diplomatic experience will be essential as Secretary of State in his work to strengthen our nation's global leadership & rebuild the State Department. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Despite essential workers' tireless work during the pandemic & the risk of COVID exposure, many are paid wages so low they can’t afford even their most basic needs. This should be a wake-up call that the workers we all call “heroes” deserve more than $7.25/hour. #RaiseTheWage — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

After years of worsening income inequality, this pandemic has made it painfully clear just how much our economy is benefitting the biggest corporations and wealthiest individuals, while failing workers. That's why I'm pushing to #RaiseTheWage to $15/hour. https://t.co/9gwAvIVtVo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Live now: I'm joining @BobbyScott @SenSanders @RepJayapal & @RepStephMurphy to reintroduce our bill to #RaiseTheWage.      If we’re committed to an economy that works for everyone, we need one fair, livable minimum wage—for everyone.      Watch here: https://t.co/l9TQyb4Mj7 — PolitiTweet.org

Before the trial begins on February 8, it will be critical to confirm key members of President Biden's cabinet and quickly pass desperately needed COVID-19 relief to support the families, businesses, and communities that are struggling. We can and must do both. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There can be no normalizing or looking away from what played out before our eyes on January 6th. Now that the Article of Impeachment has been read in the Senate, we have a duty to hold former President Trump accountable, convict him, and bar him from holding office again. — PolitiTweet.org

We have so much work ahead of us to end sexual assault in our armed forces, but it’s great to finally have an administration that is making it a priority from week one. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Former President Trump's ban on transgender servicemembers was bigoted, hateful, and threatened our military readiness. Reversing this cruel ban helps show our trans loved ones and friends they are valued in our military, our communities, and in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Oh believe me, we know. https://t.co/zG0EhqxgAc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

To get through this pandemic together we all must continue to wear a mask, wash our hands, and socially distance. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT if you agree we need to expand access to quality, affordable child care. Working families and child care providers need more support, especially in the wake of this pandemic—and I will keep working to help them get it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

From the beginning of this pandemic I’ve said that a historic crisis like this demands bold solutions—because we want every worker and family to experience an economic recovery, not just those at the very top. That is what I will fight for in the next COVID relief package. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Getting a COVID-19 vaccine when you're able to is essential to ending this pandemic. Use @WADeptHealth's Phase Finder tool to find out when it will be your turn to get one & where you will go: https://t.co/R9e1KBkcUO https://t.co/kJAwCRDv7l — PolitiTweet.org

Giving student loan borrowers relief by pausing payments & interest until October 2021 is an essential step to help them through the pandemic. I look forward to working with the Biden Admin on the many things we can do to address the student debt crisis & make college affordable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Last fall, my report highlighted the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on Black communities & other communities of color. Our response must tackle the challenges created by systemic racism in our health care system & I'll keep pushing to ensure this work is front & center. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Since March, I pushed Trump’s OSHA to do its job & protect workers from COVID-19. Over and over again, I urged them to issue a mandatory safety standard to keep workers safe on the job. I’m so glad this is getting done—& to work with an Admin that will finally put workers first. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Invoking the Defense Production Act to tackle this pandemic is the right move, but we aren't done digging out of the hole former Pres. Trump left. We need strategic coordination across federal, state, local, & Tribal gov'ts—& I'll work close with the Biden Admin to get there. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Roe v. Wade affirmed the constitutional right to legal abortion, but it didn't eliminate the many barriers that prohibit women from being in charge of their own futures. As we continue to defend & protect Roe, we must also work to tear down burdensome obstacles. #ReimagineRoe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Please continue to do your part to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Wash your hands, socially distance, wear a mask, & follow public health guidelines to ensure you're doing everything possible to protect yourself and those around you. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We have a huge challenge ahead to get vaccinations on track—one made unnecessarily harder by the Trump Admin's failure to plan & refusal to share info. It won't be easy. But with our new @POTUS, @VP, and their team, we can. And we will. https://t.co/Z6vlWiO0YP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I voted against a waiver today because civilian control of the military is deeply important to me. General Austin is an accomplished veteran and public servant. I’ll be proud to vote for his nomination and to work with him to support our military families & servicemembers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

From the supply chain to testing to data collection and more, the Biden Administration's actions today to improve our nation's COVID-19 response are critical first steps. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Senate needs an organizing resolution yesterday because people needed COVID-19 relief yesterday. The fastest, fairest, and most bipartisan way to get this done is to do what we did in 2001. I oppose partisan, unnecessary changes like those Senator McConnell is pushing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is how you lead by example. We know masks help slow the spread of COVID-19. We know they protect you, they protect your loved ones, and they protect those around you. Let's keep each other safe, together. — PolitiTweet.org
