Washington state workers and families know how important paid family and medical leave is—and it’s why a vast majority support my push for a comprehensive national paid family and medical leave program. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today, we’re the only country in the developed world where people don’t have paid parental leave. And we also know that workers need leave to care for a sick child or cope with a major diagnosis. It’s a disgrace. We need a national paid leave program. #FMLA29 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Each year, nearly 7 million people need to take leave from work but don’t because they can’t afford to not get paid. Workers deserve better. That’s why I’m fighting to build off #FMLA & pass a comprehensive national paid family & medical leave program & guarantee paid sick days. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The call for paid leave has never been clearer or louder from all corners of our country. And @gillibrandny and I are making it clear here in the Senate: it’s time to get this done. https://t.co/xXqQG0GmCJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

29 years ago, Congress passed #FMLA—a groundbreaking first step that helped workers care for themselves & their families. It's past time to take the next step: passing a comprehensive national paid family & medical leave program & guaranteeing paid sick days. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thanks to funds from the American Rescue Plan, @CityofSeattle provided child care workers with direct relief—a lifeline amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. I spoke with some of those recipients & heard about the difference that support made for child care workers & their families. https://t.co/gPXwXGZfyn — PolitiTweet.org

Birth control is essential health care—full stop—and I’m doing everything I can to make sure that patients can get it without barriers and without extra costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’ve heard from people in Washington state frustrated by the problems in our COVID-19 response. Our bipartisan bill will help tackle some of these challenges and make sure we’re prepared for the next pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Last week I joined grant recipients of @KingCountyWA's Vulnerable Adults Digital Equity Program, which serves people who face barriers to accessing or using an internet connection. It’s great to see federal relief being used to help bridge the digital divide in WA state. https://t.co/1ELyjesIVD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s 2022—everyone should have access to high-speed internet. I fought to make sure people in WA state could get cheaper, more accessible broadband in both the American Rescue Plan & the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Glad to join leaders in WA state today to discuss this. https://t.co/5gQqJywhpw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Just like people across the country aren’t giving up on protecting the right to vote, I’m not either. I’m still pushing to pass strong federal voting rights legislation—because it’s fundamental to our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

If you or a loved one need help or someone to talk to, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is free, confidential, and available 24/7 at 1-800-273-8255. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

TW: mental health and suicide. To prevent suicide, it cannot be a taboo topic. We need to be able to talk about it, and we need to take federal action to address our nation’s youth mental health crisis. https://t.co/QquxN1lXvp — PolitiTweet.org

Inaction on climate is going to cost us. Literally. https://t.co/JLGE4oQVB2 — PolitiTweet.org

The RAISE program I created continues to fund infrastructure projects in Washington state—helping  strengthen our supply chains and create good-paying job opportunities. https://t.co/J8wtVExoH5 — PolitiTweet.org

Great to join @WSU Student Government Council to hear their thoughts & discuss their needs & my work in the other Washington to fight for students. Students are the next generation of leaders & it's important to work with them now to build a brighter future for us all. #GoCougs https://t.co/3IoJDke6Zi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The American people don’t want to see U.S. weapons used to commit war crimes against kids or innocent civilians. I've introduced legislation to strengthen the role of Congress in future arms deals & keep our weapons out of the wrong hands. https://t.co/AFA0jUUaLA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The threats of violence too many HBCUs have faced over the last several weeks are horrific and gravely concerning. I am requesting immediate answers from @TheJusticeDept on efforts to investigate these threats and keep our communities safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The American Rescue Plan is already protecting thousands of workers & retirees from having their pensions cut & finances upended through no fault of their own—& more relief is on the way. This new tracker shows the hard-earned pensions saved & businesses protected by our action. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Parents have to be able to find quality child care in their community at a price they can afford—and that’s just not the case for so many right now. My plan is going to help make sure they can. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Last year, following historic investments in our nation’s infrastructure and in our families and communities: 📈 our economy grew faster than it has in ~4 decades 📉 unemployment dropped back <4% This year, Democrats are focused on building on that work even further. https://t.co/HXVg2rdwbl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When we talk about appointing good people in government—people who will do the work—we’re talking about Shalanda Young. She’s a highly-qualified, excellent nominee to lead @WhiteHouse's Office of Management & Budget. Glad to have introduced her at today’s @SenateBudget hearing. https://t.co/VaAhwn9GmM — PolitiTweet.org

Every year, #BlackHistoryMonth is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements & contributions of Black Americans in WA state & across the nation—many of whom fought for justice & equality at every turn. Honoring that legacy means continuing that fight in every part of our lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

So many people with disabilities and older adults can’t get the home and community-based services they need. They’re counting on us to help get people off waitlists and find care at a price they can afford—and it’s time we deliver. #CareCantWait — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Democrats acted to help address these crises in the American Rescue Plan. But we aren’t done. Healing the scars of this pandemic won’t be quick or easy—this will take years, & we must act accordingly. That’s why this hearing is so important. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This crisis effects all of us. Even if we aren’t personally struggling with mental health or substance use, we all have friends and family who are—whether we realize it or not. We all have a stake in making sure people can get the help they need. — PolitiTweet.org
