Passionate workforce development & organizational management professional

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

I had a great conversation today with people from across Southwest WA about how federal funding I secured will support projects to improve the region's transportation, help young people get jobs, & improve health care access for rural communities.

[Workforce Southwest Washington @WorkforceSWWA]

Thank you @PattyMurray for investing in our youth & local economy with funds for our SummerWorks paid summer youth employment program! Summer employment for youth leads to higher graduation rates, better job placement & higher earnings later in life.
