Every day, thousands of kids across WA state ride those classic yellow buses to school. But too often, these buses are old, loud, & polluting our environment—putting our kids' lungs at risk too. Thanks to legislation I championed, we're transitioning our fleet to electric buses. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Welcome to Seattle, @VP! I can't wait to join you in celebrating the transition to cleaner, safer electric school buses—something we championed during our time together in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

I helped secure resources that will fund vital salmon recovery efforts in Puget Sound & make sure our ecosystems are clean, safe, & thriving for years to come. Salmon are so important to WA state & the Sound, & this is just one of the many pro-salmon efforts I’m working on. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a list of who should be making personal decisions about women's bodies and futures: ✅ Women And here’s a list of who shouldn’t: ❌ Republican politicians It's that simple. — PolitiTweet.org

Child care workers deserve better wages—full stop. And until they are paid what they deserve, our child care crisis will only get worse. I'll keep fighting to fix this. https://t.co/nvIGyhJnA0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Great news: I helped secure resources to boost battery supply chains and create good-paying jobs at two Moses Lake manufacturing facilities. This funding isn't just good for WA state's economy—it'll help lower energy and electric vehicle costs too. 🔋 — PolitiTweet.org

Reminder: you have until October 31 to apply for Public Service Loan Forgiveness under the temporary waiver. Whether you're a teacher in Walla Walla or a nonprofit employee in Seattle, this waiver makes it easier for you to get the student loan debt relief you've earned. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

My heart breaks for the people of St. Louis & this community in the wake of this awful shooting. We owe it to our kids to make sure they can go to school without fear that they won’t come home—that's why I'm going to keep fighting to deliver common-sense gun safety legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Don't let Republicans distract you with their talking points on abortion. They cheered the fall of #RoeVWade. They blocked my bill to protect the right to abortion. They introduced a national abortion ban. Republicans want to control women's bodies—& it's up to us to fight back. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I fought to secure rent and mortgage relief for people in Washington state, but I'm not done working to lower housing costs. I'll keep pushing for bold federal investments in our housing supply to lower housing costs across the board. 🏠 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

With the bipartisan PACT Act, I helped deliver the biggest expansion of VA health care for our veterans in over 30 years. This is going to help so many veterans, including 124,000 in WA state, who've been exposed to toxic substances finally get the care they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

With the Inflation Reduction Act, we're finally empowering Medicare to bring big pharma to the negotiating table to lower prescription drug costs for Washington state seniors. 💊 — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday, @PacSci! Thanks for being an amazing part of the Seattle community and bringing so much joy and education to our kids' lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For over 50 years, the Clean Water Act has helped protect and maintain Washington state's waterways—from Puget Sound to the Columbia River. We've made a lot of progress, but I'll keep pushing for more—because we can never compromise on preserving our state's water. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This story is heartbreaking—and it’s the direct result of Republicans’ extreme abortion bans. Our goal should always be to help women get health care. Instead, Republicans are putting their lives at risk. https://t.co/GABa5YrE8M — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

No one should have to travel hours just to get the care they need, but this is the health care crisis Republicans have created with their abortion bans. I even went to the Senate floor and pushed my bill to protect the right to travel—but they blocked that too. It's cruel. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Whether it's protecting the right to organize or helping working parents find and afford quality child care, I'll never stop fighting to support Washington state's workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our communities are doing everything they can to fight the opioid crisis, but they need help from the federal government too. I helped secure resources for people on the ground in WA state to fight this, and I'm still pushing for more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The bipartisan gun safety bill we passed this Congress is the strongest action we've taken on gun violence in nearly 30 years—but there's more to be done, like passing universal background checks & banning assault weapons. I'll keep pushing to save lives in our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This was a lifeline for providers, child care workers, & families in need of child care to get back to work, make ends meet, & build a better future. But we have so much left to do. I'll keep working with @POTUS to fix our child care crisis once & for all. https://t.co/fJsujaP9Dy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When the pandemic pushed the child care sector to the brink of collapse, I knew we needed to act. I fought for child care relief in the American Rescue Plan, and it helped 200k+ child care providers keep their doors open & serve 9+ million kids—including so many in WA state. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Everyone should be able to get the reproductive health care they need—and that absolutely includes our women in uniform. Glad to see that @DeptofDefense is working to make sure our servicemembers can get abortion care and the doctors who provide that care are protected. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A year ago today, Republicans blocked the #FreedomToVote Act, which would've protected the right to vote, cracked down on dark money, & more. Even as Republicans stand in the way, I'll never stop fighting to protect our democracy—no matter what it takes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Happy birthday, @VP! Thank you for inspiring millions of women and girls across the country. https://t.co/ow4hZfq8Y5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Fighting the climate crisis has long been one of my top priorities in Congress—just like it is for the people of Washington state. With the Inflation Reduction Act, we're delivering bold action that will help lower our nation's carbon emissions by 40%. — PolitiTweet.org

With wildfire smoke spreading across the Pacific Northwest, it’s so important for us to try to limit our exposure. Click here to stay up-to-date on wildfire and smoke conditions near you: https://t.co/bljREaXMG6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Every single student deserves a quality education—that's the bottom line. Whether it's getting more resources to K-12 schools across WA state, increasing the Pell Grant, or improving our broken student loan system, I have fought to support our students at every step. — PolitiTweet.org
