Senator – you sent one letter in Feb, then nothing. Don’t tell WA moms you care about this when you’ve spent more time talking about Daylight Savings than fighting for them! It’s time to send a new mom to DC who fights for and cares about the concerns of every day Washingtonians. https://twitter.com/murraycampaign/status/1526982963061264384
Since February, I’ve been demanding answers about our baby formula crisis, & no family should be struggling to find the formula their kid needs. I’m doing everything I can to not only get solutions for families & put an end to this crisis, but to make sure it never happens again.
Yikes. Thanks @JoeBiden and @RepKimSchrier. https://twitter.com/foxnews/status/1527023720241549323

Rep. Dent: We can set policy & appropriate funds. But it’s up to the executive branch to help implement & execute the policies. That’s where we’ve seen the greatest failures in our mental health system. This is demonstrated by the governor’s veto. #waleg
