A budget is a statement of values and President Biden's budget tells working people and families very clearly and simply, we have your back and we're going to be building a stronger future together.

Senator Murray's work in SECURE 2.0 to bring the long-term part-time worker requirement down from 3 years to 2 years will positively impact more seasonal and part-time employees by providing access to employer plans sooner.

Women of color, especially Black women, this is really worsened longstanding inequities that they have faced.
