Senator Murray will join with Fuse to hold a virtual Clark County families town hall and discuss the challenges and solutions to the issues families are facing today
(Vancouver, WA) – For your planning purposes, on Wednesday, February 23 at 6:30 PM PT, Senator Murray will join Fuse to hold a virtual town hall with Clark County and Southwest Washington area families. Senator Murray will update constituents on her work in Congress on behalf of Washington state’s kids and families—touching on many of the top concerns for families in recent months: the cost and availability of child care, keeping our kids in school safely, and other important priorities like the expanded Child Tax Credit and lowering health care costs. Senator Murray will be joined during the event by Jamielyn Wheeler, Deputy Director of Fuse Washington.
The virtual town hall will be livestreamed on Facebook by Fuse, and can be viewed HERE. Senator Murray will take both pre-submitted questions and live questions from the livestream chat during the event. Constituents can submit their questions in advance HERE or ask them during the livestream.
A grandmother and former pre-school teacher, Senator Murray knows the challenges that working parents face and has spent her career advocating for parents, first running for office after a male legislator in Olympia told her she couldn’t make a difference in trying to save her kids’ preschool program because she was, “just a mom in tennis shoes.”
Senator Murray has been a leading voice for parents in Congress and has been keenly focused on lowering everyday costs for families—authoring a major federal proposal to lower child care costs and expand coverage and offer parents the option of free pre-K for three-and-four-year olds, fighting to extend the expanded Child Tax Credit, working to lower the cost of prescription drugs, and more. In January, Senator Murray held a virtual Seattle Parents Town Hall with MomsRising.
Members of the public and media can view the virtual town hall via livestream by visiting HERE.
Washington state constituents can submit questions in advance HERE.
