Murray Highlights Ways Democratic Policies Would Expand Economic Opportunity for Women

Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) delivered remarks on the Senate floor outlining the ways Democrats’ policies would help give working women a fair shot in the 21st century economy, and shared stories from Washington state women who would benefit from Democrats’ proposals.

In her remarks, Senator Murray challenged Senate Republicans to explain their opposition to key parts of Democrats’ Fair Shot agenda, because after Republicans blocked bills earlier this year to strengthen pay equity, give millions of women across the country a raise, and make college more affordable, women in Washington state and across the country deserve to know what Republicans would offer instead.
