Senator Murray's Address to Washington State

Published February 25, 2026 | Video Starts at 16:29

I want to build more affordable housing, not a new ballroom at the White House. I'm fighting for national paid leave, a national right to abortion care. I want more resources to tackle addiction and homelessness. I want safe streets in every city. I want laws on the books that would put workers first and help them negotiate fair wages and working conditions. Unions built this country. (16:29–16:34)
