Oct. 4, 2018 Tweet - "We've heard from other women--Ms. Ramirez, Ms. Swetnick--with their own experiences. They should be listened to, they should be heard, we should presume they are telling the truth. #BelieveSurvivors" Sen. Patty Murray

Oct. 4, 2018 Tweet - "Based on everything I know about the allegations made against Judge Kavanaugh--he should not be confirmed & be in a position to make decisions on the Supreme Court that impact women & families. He testified under oath--and made claims that simply defy belief & were contradicted." Sen. Patty Murray
Oct. 4, 2018 Tweet - "I ran for the Senate after what happened to Anita Hill in 1991--and I'm confident that if women and their voices are disrespected once again, we're going to see a wave of anger, frustration, and activism that makes 1992 look like a ripple. We still have time to do this right." Sen. Patty Murray
Oct. 4, 2018 Tweet - "If this does end up being jammed through, it would eliminate any trust people have in Senate GOP leaders--it would cause tremendous anger & backlash across the country from those who are shocked to see the voices of women & survivors ignored like this." Sen. Patty Murray
Oct. 4, 2018 Tweet - "I urge my colleagues to vote NO and STOP this mad dash to a rushed confirmation. I believe Dr. Ford. She has no reason to lie. She was brave & real.
