Last year, I secured new federal funding to help an additional 130,000 children get afford child care. It's great progress, but the scope of our child care crisis demands much more action—and I'm pushing hard for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Always enjoy catching up with the @WAStatePotatoes to hear about their priorities—and how I can be a partner on the federal level to support WA state potato farmers. https://t.co/N3AknZutlg — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Democrats are pro-worker, pro-union, and ready to pass the #PROAct! — PolitiTweet.org

Go Cougs! For the first time EVER our @WSUCougarWBB are PAC-12 Tournament Champions! Congratulations to this history making team of incredible young women! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The right to abortion is fundamental for women everywhere. Never let MAGA Republicans tell you otherwise—and never lose sight of the goal we're fighting for: ensuring every woman, no matter where she lives, has the right to make her own choices about her own body. — PolitiTweet.org

Washington state's airports are vital to getting people where they need to go & supporting our local economies. Many of them are long overdue for serious investments which is why I pushed for federal funds for Sea-Tac, Spokane, and Pullman airports. https://t.co/umyPXZqpyh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is infuriating. Medication abortion is safe & effective—& has been for decades!   Let's be clear: the root of this issue is that Republicans' goal is to control women's bodies—& they’ll stop at nothing, not even pressuring companies, to get what they want. We can't let them — PolitiTweet.org

It was great to check in with WA state members of the @GoWestCUA while they were in DC this week. They are great partners in my work to get the SAFE Banking bill over the finish line and I'm grateful to have them in my corner as we keep up the fight. https://t.co/2NdRwZU0jz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

No one should ever have to forgo getting the health care or prescriptions they need because they can’t afford them. We made real progress to lower health care costs for families last year, and I'm absolutely pushing for more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This week I met with the Jefferson County Public Utility District about their work to deploy broadband across the county. Their insight was so helpful as we work to close the digital divide for families in Jefferson County and across WA state. https://t.co/1CCk5OjPqP — PolitiTweet.org

It was an absolute honor to help present @jonimitchell with the @librarycongress's #GershwinPrize for Popular Song. Such an incredible night to celebrate a musical icon! https://t.co/ugdGhIUEP7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

After talking with veteran advocates in Bellingham last week, I sat down with @SecVetAffairs to reiterate their concerns and talk about the challenges WA state veterans are facing. I'm committed to doing everything I can to ensure our veterans get the support they've earned. https://t.co/EarHaLr7jI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People have got to be able to trust that the skin and hair products they use all the time aren’t going to hurt them and don’t contain harmful chemicals. Reforms I got passed & signed into law will finally empower @US_FDA to crack down on unsafe cosmetics. https://t.co/fnkTJkGuMv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I met with Washington state members of @PVA1946 to hear about their priorities for this year. I will always fight to make sure our veterans get the support they earned & deserve—and am committed to holding VA accountable for better serving our veterans. https://t.co/AR8o1WIN0w — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Help spread the word: the shingles vaccine is now *free* for seniors on Medicare thanks to Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act. This is one of many ways Democrats are working to lower health care costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So grateful to have strong support for the reintroduction of the Helping Heroes Act and look forward to working together to get this bill across the finish line. https://t.co/Hp9caaz7VS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Over 2 million children living in a household with a disabled veteran have stepped up to care for their veteran. But oftentimes, these children don't have the support they need. Today I’m reintroducing the bipartisan Helping Heroes Act to make sure the VA is there for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I am so thrilled that Jamal Whitehead has been confirmed to serve as a federal judge for the Western District of Washington state! He is exceptionally qualified and ready to get to work for the community he grew up in and the people of Washington state. https://t.co/QgTdRAUwDw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I spoke on the Senate floor about why I voted against the resolution to overturn the Biden ESG rule. This rule is commonsense, neutral, & simply acknowledges that environmental, social, or governance factors are reasonable for asset managers to consider. https://t.co/ZnStHfj2J2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This #WomensHistoryMonth, I’m feeling especially inspired by the long history of women who have paved the way in politics—whether it’s in the halls of Congress or making their voices heard on the streets of WA state. We have to build on that progress and keep moving forward. https://t.co/NE8GkD9rcl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I don't know about you, but I'm excited about Julie Su! I have no doubt Julie will continue her critical work to stand up for American workers and build a stronger economy for everyone—& I look forward to supporting her nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

65% of Washington state's population lives in coastal areas—and these communities are on the frontlines of the climate crisis. There's a real budgetary cost to inaction and as I made clear at today's @SenateBudget hearing, we need an all-hands-on-deck approach to tackle this. https://t.co/QNydJMfvlZ — PolitiTweet.org

RT @POTUS: A union is about working people having each other’s backs, making sure you get the pay and benefits you deserve. That’s how we r… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Let's pass the #PROAct and protect every worker's right to organize for better wages, benefits, and working conditions. https://t.co/YhFcP8drkf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Unions give workers a powerful voice to demand what they deserve—better pay, quality health care, a safer workplace, and a secure retirement. The #PROAct will help ensure workers get their fair share of the wealth they help create. https://t.co/Hp8OdeQZ4d — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Despite the great progress we've made to build a fairer, stronger economy, too many workers are still getting left behind while the biggest corporations make millions. That's why today I'm reintroducing the #PROAct with @SenSanders to protect every worker’s right to organize. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As a mom, grandma, and former preschool teacher, you better believe I'm going to keep pushing to deliver on the care policies our families and our economy need—like child care, paid leave, and home care. I was glad to join advocates today to make clear #CareCantWait. https://t.co/Lm79y1rM6Z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Child care. Paid leave. Home care. I'm live with parents and advocates from across the country to make clear we've got to deliver on care policies that our families and economy are depending on. #CareCantWait — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It was great to hear firsthand about the innovative work being done at WSU Breadlab to produce more sustainable and economically viable crops in WA state. Thanks to the Breadlab team and the @PortofSkagit for showing me around! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Most abortions are done using medication that is safe & effective—something the science has been settled on for decades. But now, Republicans are backing a lawsuit to rip that option away from millions of women. Their intentions are clear: they want to control women's bodies. — PolitiTweet.org
