Senator Murray: “I continue to have serious concerns about her long record of working to privatize and defund public education, expand taxpayer-funded private school vouchers, and block accountability for charter schools”
(Washington, D.C.) — Today, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Ranking Member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, released the following statement after meeting with President-elect Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos.
“I appreciate Ms. DeVos taking the time to meet with me to discuss her record and her vision for the Department of Education. Following this initial conversation, I continue to have serious concerns about her long record of working to privatize and defund public education, expand taxpayer-funded private school vouchers, and block accountability for charter schools, including for-profit charter schools. I also continue to have concerns about her extensive financial entanglements and potential conflicts of interest and I hope that more information and transparency on this front is forthcoming. I look forward to a robust hearing where we can learn more about Ms. DeVos’ record and plans. And I am hopeful that Democrats and Republicans on the Committee will have every opportunity to have all of our questions answered openly and transparently and that all requested information is received with time to fully review before a vote.”

If you put your ear next to Patty Murray’s, you can hear the ocean.
Tough titties Pattie, your side lost and we have the votes. Run your insipid mouth all you want.
Attagirl, Patty....keep right on defending a failed system for purely political reasons
You could care less about “education’. It’s all politics with you and your cronies
End the U.S. Dept. of Ed.
Dear Senator Patty Murray: I have serious doubts concerning that brick that doubles as your brain. Please get a new one—a brain that is, donate the brick to a local builder.
Hehehehe! That’s pretty good.
I continue to be baffled as to how anyone could vote for this ugly dumb bitch for Senator.
Because she brings home the pork, and her staff, which is one of the best in the Senate, makes sure that she gets the credit in the local media.
Translation: Thank you for taking the time but it didn’t matter what you said or did, or who you are, or how you might serve the country, my mind was made up when you were nominated and I’m doing my part as prescribed by what’s left of the democratic party.
Waste of time Betsy but hats off for giving it a try. It won’t matter because we have the Reid Rule and you will get confirmed in spite of the bovine excrement you experienced today.
If there was ever a poster gal for national dental care, patty is it
Elections have consequences! We do not want your ways any more!
And her hair is ugly.
She is one of the most bitter, Liberal ,low class politicians that the State has elected.
And the ‘bacon’ is just for her donor/investors and fat cat Unions and bureaucrats.
TWB
Why even bother to meet with these people? I would walk around the block to avoid sharing a sidewalk with them.
She is horrible.
I am knee deep in right wingers in Texas who want her nixed. School Choice is NWO agenda needs to be completely exposed and killed
She was a state legislator or aide at the time, and some evil white conservative guy supposedly told her she wouldn't make it anywhere, you're just a Mom in tennis shoes.
Murray then used that story to advance her political career.
Patty Murray is one of WA’s empty suits. She probably had no clue what DeVos was talking about.
Patty Murray makes the late Rodney King look like a genius.
