Patty Murray actually said...

"Are we expanding opportunity for all Americans? No matter where you come from, we are all better off if everyone in our society has the opportunity to succeed."

"I truly hope Republicans are willing to join us at the table once again to talk about this critical work of investing in jobs and our security in a balanced and fiscally responsible way."

"I think that the creation of jobs in my community and my State is the number one."

"I personally believe there are better ways to create jobs, grow the economy, and tackle our long-term fiscal challenges than this policy."
