10/20/2022 Tweet - "A year ago today, Republicans blocked the #FreedomToVote Act, which would've protected the right to vote, cracked down on dark money, & more. Even as Republicans stand in the way, I'll never stop fighting to protect our democracy--no matter what it takes."
09/18/2022 Tweet - "Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought every single day for justice and equality--and for women's rights. Today that fight is more important than ever--and it's up to us to fight just as hard as she did."
08/18/2022 Tweet - "Even 102 years after the 19th amendment was ratified, women--and in particular women of color--often face barriers to exercising their constitutional right to vote. We have got to do more to protect and strengthen federal voting rights protections. RT if you're with me."
08/06/2022 Tweet - "The right to vote is foundational to our democracy. That was true 57 years ago when the Voting Rights Act was signed into law, and it's especially true today. I will never stop fighting to pass strong federal voting rights legislation."

02/23/2022 Tweet - "My heart goes out to the kids and parents in Texas who are scared right now. What the state government is doing is cruel. And I want all the trans youth in TX and across the country to know that I will fight for you and your families every way I can in Congress."
02/12/2022 Tweet - "My office has been flooded with calls from people across WA state voicing their support for strong federal voting rights legislation. Getting this done is the right thing to do. It's what the people of WA state want. And I'll keep working until we get it done."
02/09/2022 Tweet - "People have a right to make their voices heard in our democracy. Strengthening federal voting rights protections is essential to making sure that happens."
02/03/2022 Tweet - "Just like people across the country aren't giving up on protecting the right to vote, I'm not either. I'm still pushing to pass strong federal voting rights legislation--because it's fundamental to our democracy."
01/30/2022 Tweet - "Here's what's happening right now: Republican-led legislatures are making it harder to vote for certain people--primarily Black Americans, Native Americans, young people, & people w/ disabilities. That's wrong--& we can stop it by strengthening federal voting rights protections."
01/27/2022 Tweet - "Protecting the right to vote with strong federal legislation isn't something we can--or will--give up on. I'm going to keep fighting to get this done and protect the foundation of our democracy."

01/19/2022 Tweet - "History is sitting on our shoulders right now. The American people are looking to us for a way to move forward & protect the right to vote--& this is it.
