Help Reform Our Broken Health Care System

Senator Murray launched a website to help Washington state residents lend their voice to the effort to reform health care in America. The site is a place where Washingtonians can share their stories about our broken health care system and where they can stay updated with the latest news on health care reform efforts.

Senator Murray believes that making meaningful reform happen this year will take more than members of Congress – or even President Obama – calling for change. It will take Americans across Washington state and the nation standing up and demanding it. That’s why she is asking Washington state residents to add their voice to this debate by signing up and/or sharing their health care stories at her new site.

One-Stop Economic Resource Center

In an effort to help Washington state residents make informed financial decisions, access all of the help available to them, and to keep them informed on the very latest on economic recovery plans, Senator Murray has established this One-Stop Economic Resource Center.

Funding Requests

An important part of my job as your U.S. Senator is to help Washington state communities and businesses get federal support for projects that will create jobs, get our economy moving and make a difference for Washington’s families.

My staff and I have taken a look at all of the project requests that have come in this year. We put a priority on those that have broad-based local support and will create jobs and generate economic growth.

We are facing tough economic times. Families are struggling. So while we work to bring federal funding home, I have made it a priority to also ensure that these projects have been well vetted and that we are using taxpayer money responsibly. That’s why I’m glad to post all of the projects that I am requesting funding for here on my Web site. I believe that the process should be transparent and that all of you should be able to see the requests I am making as your representative in Congress.

Now, budgets are tight on the federal level as well. So, just because I have requested funding for a project, it doesn’t mean that the money will come through.

I will continue to update this site with new requests I am making and with the projects that end up being funded.

Sen. Murray praises Hanford stimulus jobs

Ty Rose came home from Iraq last year with new leadership skills he thought would translate into a job stateside. But it took creating new jobs with federal economic stimulus money for him to find work, he told Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., Thursday. She was at the HAMMER training and education center to see how American Recovery and Reinvestment Act money was being spent that she fought to have allocated for Hanford cleanup.
