Over 400,000 borrowers in Washington state owe $20K or less on their federal student loans. Under @POTUS’s student loan debt forgiveness plan, many eligible borrowers would see their remaining debt completely wiped out. That’s a game-changer for them and our state’s economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to our bipartisan legislation to boost American semiconductor chip manufacturing, more good-paying jobs are coming to Washington state. https://t.co/1fXTpjSlEA — PolitiTweet.org

Suicide can't be a taboo topic—we need to acknowledge and talk about it. If you or a loved one need help or someone to talk to, the free, confidential, and 24/7 @988Lifeline is now easier to reach than ever by calling 988. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Making sure the Salmon Bay Bridge is safe & reliable is so important to the people of Western Washington & our economy. I'm proud to have secured funding for a new drawbridge system that will help get people & goods to where they need to be. https://t.co/pH15t3YRg4 — PolitiTweet.org

The Inflation Reduction Act is going to save people in Washington state a lot of money on health care. https://t.co/Q26aUGhoIZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans blocked our bill to protect the right to birth control. Meanwhile, I'm leading Democrats in pushing legislation to help make sure everyone can get and afford birth control. The difference could not be more stark. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Americans don’t want partisan politics deciding what care they can get—not on HIV prevention, not on abortion, & not on birth control. This outrageous decision will disproportionately hurt LGBTQ+ people—& puts all preventive care at risk. I’ll keep fighting on this. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Working moms are expected to juggle their roles as both workers and moms. Yet on average, they earn just 58 cents for every $1 working dads make. Let's pass my #PaycheckFairness Act and get working moms the wages they deserve. #MomsEqualPayDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m focused on getting our Tribes the resources they need to support their communities. That’s why I fought to secure fishery resources to help Tribes recover the losses they’ve experienced through no fault of their own. https://t.co/WiVq5xbNRR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm fighting to put the health care of our veterans first—including abortion care. Republicans want to stop veterans from getting the health care they need. That's how extreme they've become—@maziehirono, @SenWarren, & @SenDuckworth, & I are fighting back to stop them. https://t.co/wJzsOlDHtm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thanks to @IbewLocal46 for meeting with me today in the other Washington! We've passed some really historic legislation this Congress that goes big for Washington state's workers. But I'm not slowing down. I'll keep working to protect our workers & create good-paying union jobs. https://t.co/pfyah3ph95 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When the Biden Admin announced VA clinics would provide abortion care for veterans & their families in medical emergencies & cases of rape or incest, Republicans immediately opposed it. The GOP cares more about controlling women’s bodies than getting veterans their health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm speaking live with @maziehirono, @SenWarren, & @SenDuckworth about the Biden Administration's historic action to allow VA to provide abortion care to veterans and their families. The GOP is already coming out against it—but we are fighting back. https://t.co/X2mU7r4R9K — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thank you, @S10Bird, and congratulations on an amazing career. You have meant so much to Seattle on and off the court. We could not be more proud. #ThankYouSue — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Through every action, Sandy Williams's civil rights work in Eastern Washington was a tremendous, immeasurable gift to the Spokane community. Today, I'm thinking of her loved ones and every single person she had an impact on across our state. https://t.co/kGIEt53AxZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When it comes to defending voting rights, I’ve said it before: history is watching and we’ve got to act. That means making Election Day a federal holiday, ensuring early voting and vote-by-mail, and so much more. By any means necessary, we’ve got to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Every cent of the Inflation Reduction Act—and its historic climate action—is paid for by ensuring giant corporations pay their fair share in taxes. This is a huge step in building an economy that works for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is devastating. My heart goes out to all the loved ones of those killed in this tragic crash. https://t.co/HFPxscJ0Fg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Washington state’s workers are the backbone of our economy. From paid leave to child care to the minimum wage, I’ll always stand with workers and fight for a fairer economy and workers’ right to unionize. #LaborDay https://t.co/VxT3YRMCkn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Inflation Reduction Act will: 💵 Cut costs for families  ⚡ Expand solar and wind energy in Central and Eastern WA 👷 Create good-paying jobs across our state This is huge—and I’m ready to keep pushing on climate solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

From Seattle to Spokane, housing costs are too high in Washington state. I'm working to fix that with strong federal support for affordable housing, more rent and mortgage relief, and so much more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For too long, big pharma has squeezed the pockets of families in WA state just to make a quick buck. The Inflation Reduction Act will lower drug costs, lift the stress off of patients’ shoulders, and help them get the prescriptions they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm working to pass my bill to protect doctors providing legal abortion care because politicians should not be harassing, scaring, investigating, threatening, or punishing doctors for providing care that is legal, that patients want, & that is often necessary to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

RT if you agree that there’s no reason a multi-billion dollar corporation should pay less in taxes than a teacher, firefighter, or nurse in my hometown of Bothell. The Inflation Reduction Act will finally help level the playing field. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Inflation Reduction Act:  ✅Caps insulin costs and lowers drug costs for seniors ✅Extends cost-saving health care tax credits ✅Empowers Medicare to force pharmaceutical companies to the bargaining table This legislation is much-needed relief for WA state & our families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans across the country are making it harder to vote. By restricting people's votes, they’re restricting their voices. And our democracy cannot succeed if people are not allowed to participate. It’s so important that we pass strong voting rights protections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The tax credits passed in the American Rescue Plan lowered health care costs for hundreds of thousands of families across Washington state. The Inflation Reduction Act extends this life-changing support for three full years. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Wildfires. Heat waves. Droughts. Washington state is no stranger to the climate crisis. The Inflation Reduction Act will help our state continue to lead in clean energy, create good-paying jobs, and adapt to a rapidly changing climate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For the first time ever, @VeteransHealth will finally be able to provide abortion care to ensure no veterans have to face medical emergencies—or stay pregnant after a rape or incest—because of the GOP's cruel bans. This is a needed step to protect women’s rights and their health. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Reminder: Senate Republicans voted against protecting: ➡️ the right to birth control ➡️ the ability to travel across state lines to get health care ➡️ providers for doing their job in states where abortion is legal ➡️ a woman's ability to make her own health care decisions — PolitiTweet.org
