I want to make sure that the VA is keeping Washington State veterans and our VA workforce, many of whom, as I said, are veterans themselves... I do not want EHR to move an inch further in my state until all of this is fixed and ready to go.

Parents in my State want to know, what is the Biden Administration doing to protect our kids?

It is more than advocacy, it is an obligation.

I am especially alarmed by the rise in overdose deaths among adolescents.

I want to thank my fellow committee members and Secretary Becerra for a very thoughtful discussion about how we can do more to support our communities.

I was so pleased to see this budget also increases resources to help lower our Nation's unacceptably high maternal mortality rate.

I want the record to reflect that nobody, nobody has fought harder for caregivers than Patty Murray and we appreciate your continued input on this issue.

I want to be very clear, I will not stand for this.

We need an immigration system that works.

We know our maternal death rate has been particularly devastating for black and Native American women.

I have been fighting so hard to make a truly historic investment in childcare that would bring down costs for families, bring up wages for workers, and all fully paid for simply by asking those at the top to pay their fair share.

Overly-restrictive regulations that go beyond statutory authority are really contrary to the intent of Congress.

I adamantly believe that the VA has an obligation to reach them with high-quality care.

Our communities are really being hammered by the opioid crisis.

I'm going to be in this game because I don't think my veterans should get less services in a very tough part of our state.

We need to be doing everything we can to reduce barriers to access, especially for people in more rural areas.

I am really concerned that further delay in passing emergency COVID funding could undermine our hard won progress.

Fiscal year 2024, is going to be really critical for this site, and I am really disappointed by this year's request.

They have refused to increase funding for the Title X program, which I have been talking about, that provides funding for birth control, cancer screening, and lifesaving care.

the Federal Government has a moral and legal obligation to clean up the Hanford site

If this is true, it will be devastating to many people across the country. I have been warning about this for years and I want you to know I am going to keep fighting back with all I have to protect every woman's rights in this country.

We need to be doing everything we can to protect it.

This is just unacceptable. We really need some urgent action from the Administration.

Families are counting on us to get that done.

I am talking about child care, transportation, those kinds of barriers.
