From Sen. Patty Murray: "In 2017, don't ask me how I'm doing, [View all]

ask me WHAT I'm doing."

Some people have been asking what the Dems are up to now. This is the message Patty Murray has on Facebook today . . .

I've heard from so many of you in the past few months, asking me how I'm doing in this new world we find ourselves in. Our President-elect is already running away from his campaign promises to stand with workers, women, and families. His cabinet picks have been appalling, he continues to try and distract the country with absurd tweets and irresponsible comments, and his policy plans are terrifying. I know it can be hard to feel hopeful right now, but I want you to know that I won’t give up. I’m going to keep fighting for you, for Washington state, and for all the hard-working families across the country -- no matter what. And in the new year, I don't want you to ask me how I'm doing, I want you to ask me what I'm doing. This year wasn’t a great year for our country, but we can’t just complain, we need to get ready to fight back and work to protect everything we have fought for and everything we care about -- because everything is at stake. So, as we head toward the new year, and as we prepare to spend time with our family and friends, let’s take this opportunity to recommit ourselves to the fight ahead. With your help, I know I can keep fighting, so thank you for standing with me now and in the year ahead. And Happy New Year to you and your family!
