Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Democrats are at the table and want a COVID-19 agreement that focuses on the public health crisis and helps the many, many people who are suffering. Republicans need to get serious about providing the relief people need and stop standing in the way from getting real work done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The bipartisan paid leave policy we passed earlier this year protected workers, reduced the spread of the virus, and likely saved lives. There is absolutely no reason Republicans should let it expire. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There are just *3* days left to sign up for health coverage that starts on January 1, 2020. Click the link below to make sure you and your family are covered, and help spread the word. #GetCoveredWA https://t.co/VpIwaM42Mw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If Congress fails to act, millions of workers could lose access to emergency paid sick days and family leave. RT if you agree that Republicans should work with Dems to extend this important policy that has protected workers & helped slow the spread of COVID-19. https://t.co/chmT8FOXOF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I look forward to working with the incoming Biden Administration to #FixTitleX & ensure the millions of patients who rely on this program for essential care, like cancer screenings, STI screenings, birth control & more can get health care they need from providers they trust. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Please, do your part to protect your family and community. If you don't feel well, you can check your symptoms here. https://t.co/zADmaPz4DT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m going to be doing everything I can to make sure we go from an agreement to legislation that is passed and signed into law as soon as possible. https://t.co/GjrHPvK7BS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As with any compromise, this isn’t the bill I would've written on my own, but I’m pleased that it meets the principles I've been focused on: protecting patients from surprise medical bills, without increasing their premiums or interfering with state-level solutions—like WA’s. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’ve heard from so many patients who have gotten surprise bills for out-of-network medical care—even when they go to an in-network facility. Today I’m thrilled to tell them that we have reached a bipartisan agreement that will end the practice of surprise billing once & for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Managing the supply chain to ensure adequate PPE is pandemic response 101 and the Trump Administration continues to fail at it. Congress must help get things on track and pass the Protect Our Heroes Act to ensure health care workers have the PPE they need. https://t.co/qMz5DxGtjk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Remember, December 15 is the deadline to make sure you and your family have health coverage next year. If you're in Washington you can renew, change, or sign up for health care now at https://t.co/VpIwaLMrUY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@gillibrandny @rosadelauro & I are pushing Congress to extend the bipartisan paid leave policy that is already on the books. There is absolutely no reason, & no excuse, to not extend this policy that has protected workers, reduced the spread of the virus, and likely saved lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Congratulation to Anne McClain & Kayla Barron, both from Washington state, for being chosen as part of the team for @NASA's Artemis mission—& among the first women to go to the moon! Your hard work and determination is an inspiration to us all. Good luck! https://t.co/ay2865cXCm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People are struggling to make ends meet. Democrats are working hard to get workers, families, & businesses the relief they need. @senatemajldr keeps standing in the way. This has got to change. I'll keep fighting for a COVID-19 relief package that meets the depth of this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Good news: the Senate passed a package that ensures VA covers emergency medical transportation for vets' newborns & invests in child care, fertility services, & more for vets. I've fought for these measures for years & look forward to them becoming law. https://t.co/OjwaIFMUA0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This International #HumanRightsDay, we must commit to ensuring human rights for all as we recover and rebuild from this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

With peoples’ lives on the line and the virus surging, the President & @senatemajldr are demanding proposals that are unproductive and frankly, heartless. We need an agreement that actually helps workers, families, and small businesses get through the next few tough months. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

But there’s more work to do. COVID-19 has highlighted the critical need for us to confront the systemic racism & inequality in our schools. This is long overdue & I look forward to working with Democrats, Republicans & the incoming Biden Admin. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Trump Admin & Sec Devos undermined our efforts every step of the way—but I look forward to working with the Biden Admin to provide states & school districts with the necessary guidance to carry out the law & ensure all students have access to a high-quality, public education. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

COVID-19 has thrown students, parents, & educators into an uncertainty we’ve never seen before. As this pandemic rages on, it’s essential we give schools the resources they need to weather this storm—while also ensuring states & school districts can carry out this critical law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today marks 5 years since the bipartisan Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA, was signed into law—an important step to making sure every child, from pre-K through 12th grade, has access to a high-quality public education. https://t.co/6NszCPTffi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Just a reminder: Congress already passed a bipartisan paid leave policy earlier this year—saving lives by reducing COVID-19 infections by 15,000+ ppl per day last spring. There’s no reason Republicans shouldn’t extend this policy again to save more lives. https://t.co/tOA31QFcDL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If Congress doesn't act soon to expand COVID-19 relief: 12M workers will lose access to unemployment assistance 30-40M renters could be evicted state, local, & Tribal gov'ts would lose federal COVID-19 support I'll fight with everything I've got to make sure this doesn't happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This highly qualified team has the kind of expertise and knowledge we need to address not just the threat of COVID-19, but also longstanding challenges like making sure health care is a right, lowering costs, addressing systemic racism, and so much more. https://t.co/0a0Rpf9rwI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage in WA state & across the country, it’s critical people take steps to make sure they can get the health care they need. There's less than 1 week left to sign up for health coverage that starts on January 1, 2021. https://t.co/8r3xtxPvHe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It's by continuing to take precautions like these that we will be able to slow the spread of COVID-19. With so many hospitals nearing capacity, that has never been more important. This has been a long, hard road but we can't give up the fight now. https://t.co/SzzJ0t13uJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I really want everyone to understand why this is so important. State, local, and Tribal gov'ts are on the frontlines of this pandemic—& in order for them to continue their work & protect their communities, they desperately need the federal support that Dems are fighting for. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If state, local, and Tribal gov'ts don't have money, some of those jobs—& services—will be cut. This will impact trash collection, the number of educators at schools, communities' ability to do COVID-19 testing, contract tracing, & vaccine preparation, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

State, local, and Tribal governments are responsible for employing everything from firefighters and EMTs to sanitary workers and public works departments. Educators and law enforcement, as well as public health workers, all fall into this category. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I want to share with you all why Dems are fighting so hard to make sure state, local, & Tribal gov'ts get the support they need. 10 months into this pandemic, their budgets are stretch thin—making it increasingly difficult to keep our communities running. Here's what that means: — PolitiTweet.org
