Washington state cannabis businesses shouldn’t have to fear for their safety because of outdated banking laws. Let’s pass the #SAFEBankingAct and make sure these businesses don’t have to operate fully in cash. https://t.co/CG34XwGtH3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I urged @usedgov to fix the income driven repayment system and I’m glad they’re taking steps to do it. We've got to do more to provide relief to student loan borrowers and I’ll keep pushing them on it. https://t.co/w3Y2abldYV — PolitiTweet.org

Even before this pandemic, child care cost more than college tuition in Washington state. We’ve got to pass my child care plan and help make sure every family can afford it. Anything less is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’ve heard from many people from Seattle to Spokane who work hard, play by the rules, & save money, but still have to do things like work an extra job just to afford the life-saving medicine they need. Democrats are pushing for meaningful steps to lower prescription drug costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When I say I’m going to bat to lower prescription drug costs for Washington state families, that includes fighting back against the corporate greed that has led to skyrocketing drug prices and blocked cheaper generic drugs. It’s unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When families cannot find or afford the child care they need, it’s bad for kids, parents, workers, businesses—everyone. I'm glad @POTUS is in my corner fighting for child care—we have to fix it and we can. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Helping people and solving problems—that’s our job. We can help working families by passing legislation to put money back in their pockets and take a little stress off their shoulders. I’m laser focused on that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m with @POTUS in Auburn, WA to talk about why we’ve all got to be fully focused on lowering everyday costs for our state’s working families. Tune in live below. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I stood by @POTUS as he signed an executive order to help protect old-growth forests—a straightforward but important strategy in the fight against climate change. But we need more. I remain focused on sending landmark climate legislation to his desk to protect our earth. https://t.co/QwI0fXjErV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There are few more urgent threats to Washington state than climate change. This #EarthDay, know that I am pushing full steam ahead to pass climate legislation that meets the scope of this crisis and protects this beautiful state we call home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today, @POTUS is here in Washington state. I look forward to talking to him about the things people in our state care most about—including lowering costs on necessities like child care and prescription drugs, and taking big, bold action to address the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I have a bold child care plan that’s going to make a real difference for Washington state families. And today I visited a @YMCASeattle child care center to make clear that I’m going to do everything I can to get it passed. https://t.co/Rmg2ZGfVoL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our child care system is broken, and Washington state families—and child care providers—deserve better. My fully paid for child care plan will cut families’ costs, increase options, and raise wages for child care workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There's a lot I'm working on to help lower Washington state families' costs on: 🚸 child care 💊 prescription drugs 🏠 housing ➕ and so much more — PolitiTweet.org

Just this year, too many extreme abortion restrictions have already been enacted on the state-level. Make no mistake: the extreme GOP are coming after the right to abortion. We’ve got to protect that right and make sure everyone can get the health care they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It was great to meet with servicemembers & tour Camp Murray today to learn more about how they're using the federal funding I secured for their facilities here in Tacoma. Our national guard is always among the first to protect the people of our state—& we’ve got to support them. https://t.co/LnuGqX7EiW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Great to be in Spanaway today for the groundbreaking of @BethelSD’s new family support center. This is such an important project that will help so many kids & families get the care they need, & I’m glad I was able to secure the federal funds to help make this a reality. https://t.co/GjzDxXD49w — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today I joined @WATreasurer & local cannabis store owners in Tukwila to talk about the #SAFEBankingAct. Right now, law-abiding cannabis stores are wrongly forced to only accept cash, & that’s dangerous. I know there’s bipartisan support to pass this & I’m working to get it done. https://t.co/FYp5MC8f64 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Federal laws on cannabis haven’t caught up with Washington state & it’s hurting small businesses and putting workers in danger. We’ve got to pass the #SAFEBankingAct because it makes absolutely no sense that legal cannabis businesses are being forced to operate entirely in cash. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Washington state nurses have been stretched thin and pushed to the brink over the course of this pandemic. Our entire health care workforce needs more support and resources—and I’m working on delivering just that. https://t.co/p7glXL5ca7 — PolitiTweet.org

Abortion bans don't just hurt women trying to get an abortion—they undermine our health care system and can make it harder for patients everywhere to get the health care they need. https://t.co/Gxp4Izqw0w — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Really excited I got to join @MyCommTrans in Lynnwood for the groundbreaking of the Swift Orange Line project. This line is going to connect more people in south Snohomish County to @soundtransit, and I’m so glad we got the federal support needed to make it a reality. https://t.co/fg1IRJmP4E — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The income-driven repayment system should make sure student loan borrowers’ payments don’t break the bank & provide a reliable path to debt relief. For too long, that wasn’t the case. I pushed @usedgov to fix these longstanding failures & I’m glad they’re taking steps to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

A recent investigation found the income-driven repayment system is failing student loan borrowers. WA state borrowers deserve better. I’m urging @usedgov to finally reform this system, fix the harm already done, & extend the payment pause until at least 2023 to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Washington state's national parks and scenic landscapes are a staple of our state, communities, and way of life. I'm so grateful to call this beautiful place home—and will do everything I can to protect WA's parks for generations to come. 📸 @NCascadesNPS #NationalParkWeek https://t.co/j2UXHa7hDS — PolitiTweet.org
