10/31/2022 Tweet - "TODAY is the last day to apply for Public Service Loan Forgiveness under the temporary waiver. Whether you're a teacher, a firefighter, or any public servant, make sure to get your application in today. Click the link below for more information."
10/24/2022 Tweet - "Reminder: you have until October 31 to apply for Public Service Loan Forgiveness under the temporary waiver. Whether you're a teacher in Walla Walla or a nonprofit employee in Seattle, this waiver makes it easier for you to get the student loan debt relief you've earned."
10/14/2022 Tweet - "No one should ever be on the hook for repaying an abusive partner's student loan debt. This law is finally going to let borrowers who have joint loans with former partners split them and move forward independently."
05/19/2022 Tweet - "Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. Today Republicans stonewalled legislation that would have gotten them the support they desperately need--but this fight isn't over. I'll keep exploring every possible option to get them the support they need."
05/15/2022 Tweet - "Too many Washington state small businesses are still trying to get back on their feet. The Senate has got to pass legislation to make sure every small business--whether it's a restaurant, gym, or otherwise--gets the support they need."
04/23/2022 Tweet - "Washington state's restaurants are often the heart of our communities and culture. I'm working to make sure every one of them can get the relief and support they need."
04/23/2022 Tweet - "Washington state cannabis businesses shouldn't have to fear for their safety because of outdated banking laws.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.
04/20/2022 Tweet - "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."
04/03/2022 Tweet - "The student loan payment pause has got to be extended until at least 2023. With rising costs and still building back from the pandemic, this is not the time to make borrowers start paying again."
04/02/2022 Tweet - "Anyone who has spoken to local restaurant owners knows they are dealing with tough challenges right now--& too many qualified restaurants didn't get the same help their neighbors got because federal relief dollars ran dry. I'm fighting to replenish those funds & make that right."
04/02/2022 Tweet - ". @usedgov & @TheJusticeDept have got to follow through on the Biden Administration's pledge to support struggling student borrowers seeking bankruptcy relief. The bar to get relief is too high right now, and it's time for them to lower it."
02/24/2022 Tweet - "The Omicron variant & surge in COVID-19 cases hurt so many Washington state restaurant owners--including those in Eastern & Central WA that I spoke with today. This is yet another example of why I'm fighting to get more federal support to small businesses."
01/18/2022 Tweet - "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."
01/07/2022 Tweet - "Washington state continues to be a global leader in maritime trade. It's critical that we keep investing in our supply chain capacity and port infrastructure, and this federal funding for @PortofTacoma is going to go a long way."
01/04/2022 Tweet - "We fought for enforcement of provisions in the USMCA to make sure WA state's dairy producers were operating on a fair playing field because, simply put, Canada wasn't playing by the rules. This ruling is a win for our state's farmers."
12/27/2021 Tweet - "Small businesses are the backbone of WA state's economy. Getting them relief was one of my top priorities in the American Rescue Plan, & I'm proud that we've delivered billions of dollars in grants & loans to help businesses keep their doors open--& I'll keep working to do more."
11/30/2018 Tweet - "We should be doing more to empower entrepreneurship among tribal communities, and repealing this nearly 200-year-old law is a good step forward."
11/23/2018 Tweet - "As the daughter of a small business owner, I know firsthand the valuable contributions that small businesses make to our country's economy and to communities in WA and across the country. Tomorrow, November 24, make sure to #ShopSmall."
11/21/2018 Tweet - "Small businesses drive job growth, stimulate local economies, and help develop new industries and products. This Saturday, November 24, #ShopSmall and support the businesses that are the backbone of our economy."
10/26/2018 Tweet - "Let me be clear: I wasn't consulted on the Trump administration's bailout plan, but I represent a lot of families who are being hurt right now by Trump's tariffs. If President Trump chose who got aid based on the political map, that would be unacceptable."
10/01/2018 Tweet - "Internet access is a necessity--whether you're a student, a small business owner, or staying on top of your bills. I have long pushed efforts to erase this digital divide in WA state & will continue to fight for universal access to Internet for everyone."
09/20/2018 Tweet - "I have met with farmers & fruit growers across WA who told me how damaging a prolonged trade war would be for our state's businesses & families. President Trump's approach is sowing uncertainty into our economy & threatening jobs. This is unacceptable."
09/18/2018 Tweet - "People in Washington are seeing the impacts of President Trump's trade war. That's why I will continue working to put an end to these tariffs and continue to call for trade deals that work for everyone--our growers, exporters, & workers."
09/18/2018 Tweet - "Acting Director Mick Mulvaney has a lot of questions to answer following the resignation of the CFPB student loan watchdog. We must investigate the alarming concerns and evaluate the CFPB's plans for protecting student loan borrowers."
09/17/2018 Tweet - "As the most trade dependent state in the nation, Trump's new tariffs pose a threat to Washington state's economy, as well as millions of families. I will continue working to put an end to these tariffs and fight for trade deals that work for everyone."
