Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I'm working hard to get the #BuildBackBetter framework across the finish line so families, workers, small businesses, and our communities can finally get the support they need to come back from this pandemic stronger and fairer. https://t.co/l1ssnJvpdU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Adding policies to allow Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug costs into the #BuildBackBetter framework is a step an overwhelming majority of Americans want us to take and one that will truly make a difference in people's lives. https://t.co/RpOByJ630i — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I could not agree more, @SenCortezMasto—we must keep doing everything we can to create a fair pathway to citizenship. https://t.co/qsw5w1knPw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is how we save Washington state families money and make a real, concrete difference in their lives. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

To put it simply: Americans want more sunshine and less depression. That’s why I helped introduce the bipartisan Sunshine Protection Act of 2021 which would extend Daylight Saving Time permanently—and I will keep working to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The people of my home state of Washington know this—that’s why we’ve passed legislation, along with many other states, to switch to permanent Daylight Saving Time. But they’re powerless to enact the overwhelming will of the people until they get federal approval. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Researchers also believe that if we made Daylight Saving Time permanent there would be fewer car accidents and evening robberies—& there are studies that indicate it could offset reduced economic activity that we see during standard time and even lead to greater energy savings. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Beyond convenience, making Daylight Saving Time permanent is a matter of health and safety. Studies have shown our switch to standard time can increase rates of seasonal depression as well as heart problems and risk of stroke. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LIVE: I'm on the Senate floor today because it's time we make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Watch and retweet if you agree. https://t.co/Ftq0mRl3ge — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Dangerous. Harmful. Unconstitutional. These are just a few of the things that come to mind hearing about the Ohio abortion ban bill. If you believe everyone has the right to make their own decisions about their body & their life, you need to speak out against this cruel bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

From clean energy tax credits and incentives to the creation of a Civilian Climate Corps, the #BuildBackBetter framework will mobilize our entire country to take bold steps on climate action and cut emissions in a meaningful way. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

If we finally end the cycle of crisis and complacency for public health funding and ensure we have an economy that works for everyone—not just those at the top, we can rebuild our country stronger and fairer, and we can make sure we are never in a situation like this again. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #BuildBackBetter framework would help public health departments update data systems, build their workforce, address misinformation about vaccines, expand testing capacity, address inequities, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

But our work isn’t done, we must build on lessons learned from this pandemic so we can prepare for the winter ahead, bring an end to this pandemic, and be ready for the next public health crisis whatever it may be—& I’m pressing to get that done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Nearly 80% of people have gotten their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, nearly 70% are fully vaccinated, inequities in vaccination rates have narrowed, and booster vaccines and vaccines for children are now available. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Due to President Biden’s decisive actions in response to the Delta variant, and the hard work of experts and public health officials across the country, cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are once again trending down, and the vaccination rate is continuing to go up. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

LIVE: I'm leading today's Senate HELP Committee hearing with federal COVID-19 experts to talk about how we're going to keep our foot on the gas and continue making progress to end this pandemic. https://t.co/hNECk9gCu2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For over two months, Texas’ anti-abortion law, SB8, has already effectively blocked the right to abortion for patients in the state. This is unconstitutional and downright dangerous. We must keep speaking out to protect the right to abortion. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Vaccines are one of our best tools to make sure we don’t see a winter surge of COVID-19 like we did last year. If you haven’t already, get vaccinated or get your booster shot if you’re eligible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #BuildBackBetter framework will put money back into people’s pockets and send a clear message to workers and families across the country that they’re not on their own—we're in this together. https://t.co/p1vaVhIiAN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

It’s time to solve America’s child care crisis. The #BuildBackBetter framework, which is based on my child care proposal, is our chance to do so. Let’s get it passed.   Read my op-ed in @seattletimes. https://t.co/CdKGpYAsi1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Senate Republicans once again blocked debate on voting rights protections. This cannot wait. The foundation and future of our democracy are on the line. We need to do whatever it takes to pass voting rights—even if that means an exemption to the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Passing strong federal voting rights protections into law will be the most important work this Congress does. We can’t let Senate procedure stop us from protecting the right to vote. Let’s pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act—whatever it takes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

But if Senate Republicans once again block us from moving forward with debate, I want the people of WA state and the country to know that I am committed and determined to pass strong voting rights legislation and will use every legislative tool needed to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Even if Senate Republicans disagree with me about the provisions in the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, they should at least let us move forward with debate.     If they have good-faith ideas about how to protect every Americans’ voice in our democracy, we are all ears. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@SenateDems We should be able to come together on a bipartisan basis to pass a federal prohibition on laws that restrict the right to vote based on race.    The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy. Attempts to weaken it weaken the foundation we all depend on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

@SenateDems Far-right legislators in states across the country are passing laws that make it harder for communities of color to vote, all based on baseless claims about voter fraud and rigged elections. It’s shameful, it’s anti-democratic, and it should be bigger than partisan politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@SenateDems are not done fighting to ensure every person in this country has equal and fair access to the ballot. Watch my speech on the Senate floor. https://t.co/jrbiilKxeJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #BuildBackBetter framework will: ➡️build up the supply of child care providers, ➡️lower the cost of child care, ➡️support higher wages for child care workers, ➡️and establish free, universal pre-k for 3 & 4 year olds. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This is because working parents spoke out, told their stories, and made it crystal clear: we need paid leave for all workers. It's a key step forward—and we are not done fighting to get this across the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org
