I'm going to sign onto Senator @ossoff's bill to ban members of Congress from trading stocks while in office. This is a common sense step to provide much needed transparency. https://t.co/MTpLqXgzei — PolitiTweet.org

So many small businesses have struggled during this pandemic—and it's not over yet. That's why I'm working to get small businesses in WA state and across the country additional federal support so they can keep their doors open and employees safe & healthy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Too many child care workers are underpaid and undervalued, often earning poverty wages—and Black women and women of color make up about 40% of these workers. Child care workers should be paid a living wage. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm fighting hard for a future where everyone can make their own decisions about pregnancy and parenting, and have control of their own bodies, lives, and future—free from political interference. That starts with passing the Women's Health Protection Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Last year, we all saw the extreme weather events that hit Washington state and the entire country. The climate crisis is only going to make them worse. The longer we delay bold climate action, the less time we have to tackle this crisis head-on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There’s a national shortage of blood. If you’re healthy and eligible, please consider donating blood at a local @RedCross center near you. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his continued fight for justice. If we’re serious about honoring Dr. King’s legacy, let’s do so by passing strong federal voting rights legislation to protect every American’s right to be heard in our democracy. #MLKDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Extreme Republicans shouldn’t be involved in anyone’s personal decisions about pregnancy and parenting. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We have to make sure the right to vote is never taken away, and that the voices of the American people are never taken away. https://t.co/NhcVeburOC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Insulin is a lifesaving, necessary drug for so many people. It’s outrageous that it costs so much some patients ration it. #BuildBackBetter would cap the cost of insulin at $35/month for millions of people—& it’s one of the many reasons why we need to pass it soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

As of yesterday, private health insurers must cover up to 8 free at-home COVID-19 tests per person, per month. Click the link below to learn more about how this program works and where to get tests. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Our country needs more nurses. That’s why @SenJeffMerkley and I introduced a bill to support our frontline health care workforce by putting more money in the pockets of people participating in a program that brings nursing professionals to underserved communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The spike in COVID-19 cases has caused a critical blood shortage. If you’re healthy and eligible, please consider donating blood through @BloodworksNW. Click the link below to learn more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

🚨Today is the LAST day to sign-up for health care coverage during @WAplanfinder’s open enrollment period. You don’t want to miss this chance to #GetCovered. Click the link below for more information. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The right to abortion. Easy-to-get, affordable birth control. All across the country, essential reproductive health care is under attack. I’m determined to act on the federal level to protect your ability to get the health care you want. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s clear from so many conversations I’ve had, like this one, that the American Rescue Plan is working—and we need to keep up the work. I’m going to bring back the stories I heard to the other Washington as I continue to push to fix our housing crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Amy from Spokane turned to SNAP to help pay rent and utilities. She shared that the ripple effect of getting help on those bills allowed her kids to have a Christmas & allowed her to be present & not worried about how she was going to pay the rent & bills. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Rachel from Spokane shared how scary it had been to not know where the rent payment was going to come from—and how incredible it was to have help through the American Rescue Plan that gave her assurances rent would be paid for a month or two. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I spoke with Spokane renters & @SNAPSpokane about how the American Rescue Plan has been a lifeline for keeping a roof over people's heads. https://t.co/cuFdAgjVhR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Anyone who drives in WA state knows how badly we’ve needed upgraded, more reliable bridges. Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we’re one step closer to that reality—our state was awarded millions of dollars to help repair our roads & bridges. https://t.co/P6HCf5usHR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

To be absolutely clear: we cannot let the filibuster stop us from ever debating voting rights or any other issue just one member might disagree with. We need to change Senate rules. #WeWantVotingRights — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s unacceptable that over half of American families live in areas where they can’t find affordable child care. My child care plan would help fix that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

At a time when COVID-19 cases are skyrocketing due to the Omicron variant, people need free, accessible COVID-19 tests (including rapid tests). I’m going to keep pushing the Biden Administration until this issue is solved. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The workplace vaccine or test requirement is a commonsense step to protect workers & help stop the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. It’s absurd the SCOTUS decision failed to recognize the serious risk workers face. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

You have just TWO days left to #GetCovered during @WAplanfinder’s open enrollment period for health care coverage. Click below to shop for plans and sign-up—the deadline to sign up is January 15. https://t.co/VpIwaM42Mw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I made clear to the Biden Admin they need to do more to keep kids in school safely. Yesterday they announced additional steps: providing 10M free tests to K-12 schools per month & setting up surge testing sites. But I expect more details—& there’s still more work left. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The time to #ActOnClimate is right now. RT if you agree. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I will keep fighting extreme Republican attacks on #RoeVWade because we should be a country where everyone can get the abortion care they want—regardless of who they are, where they live, how much money they make, or how they get their health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Providing TPS for our neighbors in Central America will save lives and it's the right thing to do, but it will also help build stability in the region during an incredibly challenging time. I'm urging the administration to take action immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

New guidance out from the Biden Admin shows insurers they need to do what they’re supposed to when it comes to covering birth control without costs or harmful, unnecessary hoops. This is a good first step to help ensure patients can get the reproductive health care they want. — PolitiTweet.org
