Washington state is proud to be a national leader in agriculture. Our farmers, growers, and ranchers are critical to our state’s economy, environment, and quality of life. Senator Murray knows farmers and growers face constant challenges—from difficult market conditions and extreme weather to natural disasters and high operational costs. She has consistently fought in Washington, D.C. for agricultural producers and farmworkers, will continue to work to ensure farmers have access to domestic and international markets for their high-quality products, and support crucial, cutting-edge agricultural research that is happening in Washington state.
In addition to supporting Washington state’s agricultural businesses, Senator Murray understands that rural communities have unique needs when it comes to housing, internet access, health care, and more. She works to ensure that farmworkers and rural communities have the support and opportunities they need to succeed.
