Patty Murray actually said...

"I had one spouse tell me that she sent out a number of resumes, didn't hear anything back, so she sent to the same people and didn't put on a military spouse affiliation on her resume, and heard back...."

"I'm concerned about spouse employment. The opportunities for military spouses are often rare."

"I want to emphasize, I'm really supportive of the effort on this, but I have some real concerns about making sure we have strong, quality guardrails in place."

"I just want to remind you that the Seattle area has a large joint military presence."
