The botched rollout of VA’s electronic health record system has hurt veterans & undermined VA providers & staff in WA state. I’ve made clear I don’t want to see it move ahead until it’s fully fixed. I’m glad VA is further delaying the rollout—& I’ll keep pushing for solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday to my dear friend, @SenatorCantwell! I'm so proud to fight for people in Washington state alongside you in the U.S. Senate! https://t.co/hyRDOQnroF — PolitiTweet.org

Workers are at the center of Washington state's economy. And whether it's repairing our country's infrastructure, manufacturing semiconductor chips, or building a clean energy economy, Democrats have passed legislation to help create good-paying jobs for workers across our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Washington state's military & veteran families depend on their caregivers for so much. But being a caregiver is hard work—& people who've stepped up to the role often lack the support they need. I'll keep fighting to support our caregivers & strengthen VA's Caregivers Program. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Salmon are so important to WA state, & @USDOT's new program I helped fight for to repair & upgrade fish passageways will help restore our state's wild salmon populations. I'll keep working with @SecretaryPete & @SenatorCantwell to make sure salmon are a federal priority. https://t.co/upNXtWM37Y — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When I went to the Senate floor to try to pass legislation to protect the right to birth control, Republicans blocked it. Every action they've taken has made clear: they were never going to stop at abortion. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Supporting workers with disabilities is so important to building an economy that works for everyone. As Chair of @HELPCmteDems, I'll keep pushing to make sure our policies include and reflect the needs of people with disabilities at every turn. #NDEAM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Fixing the "family glitch" is going to help so many families across Washington state save hundreds of dollars a month on their health care coverage. This is another big win for WA state families! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

All across Washington state I hear from so many people struggling with mental health challenges—especially young people. As we recognize #WorldMentalHealthDay, I'll keep pushing to get them help and get our communities more resources to tackle this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Native peoples and their history, culture, and future are so important to Washington state. On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, let’s celebrate and continue working to support Tribal communities—and also acknowledge the painful history they have faced. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I was once told I couldn’t make a difference because I was just a “mom in tennis shoes.” No one was going to tell me what I could & couldn’t do, so I laced up my shoes & got to work. You can always make a difference—no matter your shoes. Happy National Tennis Shoe Day! 👟 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If a woman decides getting an abortion is the best thing for her—for her family, her future, her health—she should be able to get one. Extreme Republicans simply shouldn't be able to control women's bodies or overrule their personal medical decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

All across WA state, we've got thousands of fish passages that are blocked & decades old. Fixing & upgrading these is key to restoring our state's wild salmon populations, & I'll do everything I can to make sure the federal government is doing its part to make that a reality. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Earlier this year, I introduced the Helping Heroes Act, which would make sure the 2+ million kids in households with a disabled veteran get the support and assistance they need to help care for them. I'll keep pushing to get this legislation over the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

One of my most important jobs is supporting Washington state's military families & their caregivers. It's an issue that's personal to me, & one that I'll always go to bat for. Thank you @FLOTUS & @SecVetAffairs for coming to Seattle today & making so many military families' days. https://t.co/g2j1PAUxii — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Supporting our military families isn’t just a national obligation to me—it’s a personal one. My dad was a veteran who served in WWII. When he got sick, VA made sure he got the care he needed. That's how it should be, and I'll keep working to make sure that's what VA delivers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

All across Washington state, there are spouses, kids, grandkids, and hidden helpers who've stepped up to help a family of someone who sacrificed for our nation. We owe these heroes our gratitude, but we also owe them the support they need and deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Welcome to Seattle, @FLOTUS! I'm looking forward to showing you the amazing @PacSci and join you in honoring military kids and families and their caregivers today alongside @SecVetAffairs, @DoleFoundation, and @wwp. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

📉 Lower monthly health care coverage costs 📉 Lower insulin & other prescription drug costs for seniors That's what the Inflation Reduction Act means for people in Washington state. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans have made clear their end game is a national abortion ban that will ban it in all 50 states—including Washington state. As long as Republicans are coming for my constituents' rights, I'll keep fighting back. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If you thought Republicans were done trying to repeal overwhelmingly popular health care policies that bring down costs—think again. Republicans’ health care proposals are the same as ever: higher costs for patients. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Child care workers are so important for our families and our economy, but so many of them aren't paid enough to make ends meet. I’m working to help families find and afford child care, and make sure workers get paid what they deserve. #ChildCareChangemakers — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Always great to have you out here in the better Washington, @SecretaryPete! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Student loan debt forgiveness is going to make a tremendous difference in the lives of so many people in Washington state. While Republicans focus on cutting taxes for the rich and big corporations, Democrats are focused on helping working people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Whether it's transporting our iconic apples or giving families a place to get outside, I helped secure funds for the Apple Capital Loop project because it's the heart of Wenatchee. Glad to welcome @SecretaryPete here to see our progress firsthand. https://t.co/rWyLibxgap — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A Washington state with healthy wild salmon populations. That's what future generations deserve and it's what we're working towards. I was glad to welcome @SecretaryPete to WA state to see firsthand just how important salmon are to our culture, our ecosystems, and our economy. https://t.co/MVackJRcJr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Salmon are a way of life in Washington state, and we've got to do everything we can to restore our struggling wild salmon populations. I'm welcoming @SecretaryPete to WA state today to discuss what we're doing to make sure this is a federal priority. — PolitiTweet.org
