Some Tweets from Senator Patty Murray


  • By promoting junk insurance plans, the Trump Admin is undermining care for 130 million people in our country with a pre-existing condition. are fighting to and get Republicans on the record once again about where they stand.
  • Instead of doing everything necessary to support servicemembers & their families at Naval Base Kitsap & at military facilities across the country, the President is raiding their funding to build his wasteful border wall. This is a gross abuse of power & I’m working to stop it.

  • People with disabilities are valuable members of our workforce whose contributions make a difference. I will continue to push for inclusion for people with disabilities in our workplaces and communities through on the job support and training.
  • Who is most affected by the harmful Trump-Pence gag rule? Young people, women with low incomes, and women of color. We must continue to fight to and ensure everyone, no matter where they live or who they are, can get quality, affordable health care.
  • Happy Birthday ! 🎉 Thank you to the selfless men and women who defend our nation and freedoms, and thank you to the family members serving alongside them.
  • President Trump's brazen decision to ransack billions of dollars from our military to help build his wasteful border wall is unacceptable & underhanded. Our troops and their families deserve better.
  • President Trump’s gag rule is making it harder for women to get the health care they need, including STI screenings. This rule is dangerous and I will keep fighting until it is reversed.
  • The Trump Admin is incentivizing states to promote junk insurance plans that would: ➡️ increase health care costs ➡️ empower insurance companies to discriminate against patients with pre-ex conditions ➡️ promote care that doesn't cover essential benefits like mental health care
  • President Trump is letting states promote junk insurance plans that can discriminate against those with pre-ex conditions by charging more, denying specific benefits, & refusing coverage. will keep standing with families & against the GOP's health care attacks.
  • Everyone who cares about access to birth control, cancer screenings, or a woman's right to know about her repro health care options, should join me to . President Trump & extreme politicians should NOT interfere with a woman's ability to get the health care she needs.
  • Congratulations to Redmond’s Phoebe Wall for receiving ! Phoebe founded Glitterary Magazine—a digital media publication made by and for LGBTQ+ youth. Thank you, Phoebe, for lifting up your voice and those of LGBTQ+ youth across our state!
  • In honor of National and to celebrate the bravery and courage associated with today, the Senate should commit to passing the Equality Act to ban LGBTQIA+ discrimination nationwide and ensure equal protection under law.
  • The Digital Equity Act would be an important step to help close the digital skills gap by making sure the federal government comes to the table to improve digital literacy and education.
  • President Trump is taking money in the federal budget away from important military projects to pay for his wasteful border wall. This hurts our military and their families more than anyone and Congress needs to take action to stop this egregious abuse of power.
  • This in-depth look at the child care crisis reaffirms the urgent need for The Child Care for Working Families Act. All families should have access to affordable, quality child care that doesn’t break the bank.
  • Thanks to the folks in Renton who shared their stories with me. I’m going to bring their feedback about accessing health care & challenges with child care back to D.C. to make sure our policies are working for veterans & families across the state.
