11/09/2022 Tweet - "It is the honor of my life to serve the people of Washington state in the U.S. Senate. Thank you. I'll keep fighting with all I've got for our state--to lower costs for families, to finally fix our child care crisis, to protect the right to abortion, and so much more."
11/08/2022 Tweet - "Happy #ElectionDay! Voting is our most powerful tool for making our voices heard in our democracy. If you haven't already submitted your ballot or voted early, make sure you know where your polling place is located and have a way to get there."
10/30/2022 Tweet - "We all saw what happened on January 6--I was there. It was an attempt to overturn a free and fair election using brute force--and a reminder that we can't take our democracy for granted. We have to fight to protect it."
10/18/2022 Tweet - "We've got to do everything we can to protect the right to abortion. Let's get 2 more pro-choice Democrats in the Senate and make it happen."
09/22/2022 Senator Murray on Republicans Blocking Bill to Get Dark Money Out of Politics: "A Disgrace"
09/22/2022 Tweet - "Once again, Senate Republicans sided WITH special interests and dark money--and AGAINST honest and transparent political debate. Instead of voting for the #DISCLOSE Act and cracking down on the dark money in our democracy, Republicans blocked it. Shameful."
09/06/2022 Tweet - "When it comes to defending voting rights, I've said it before: history is watching and we've got to act. That means making Election Day a federal holiday, ensuring early voting and vote-by-mail, and so much more. By any means necessary, we've got to get this done."
09/02/2022 Tweet - "Republicans across the country are making it harder to vote. By restricting people's votes, they're restricting their voices. And our democracy cannot succeed if people are not allowed to participate. It's so important that we pass strong voting rights protections."
06/24/2022 Tweet - "If the Supreme Court won't uphold our rights, then Congress has to. I'm going to push @POTUS to do everything he can and I'm absolutely going to hold Republicans accountable in the Senate. And this November we need to use our voices and our votes to make ourselves heard."
03/07/2022 Tweet - "The voting rights legislation Democrats have proposed includes straightforward reforms that will make it easier for eligible citizens to make their voice heard at the ballot box, like expanding vote by mail and early voting."
02/24/2022 Tweet - "For the mom juggling her job & taking care of a child. For the worker who has to pick up multiple shifts. For every eligible citizen who wants to vote but doesn't have time on election day. We should be making it easier by expanding vote-by-mail, using drop boxes, & more."
02/18/2022 Tweet - "Making election day a federal holiday and expanding vote-by-mail shouldn't be controversial--in fact, every voter gets mailed a ballot in Washington state. These are ways we can make sure every eligible citizen can make their voice heard at the ballot box. RT if you agree."
