Senator Murray with leaders of the Columbia River Channel Deepening Coalition.

Murray congratulated the diverse coalition that came together to push for improving the channel.

"If you hadn’t built the consensus, if you hadn’t formed a broad coalition, and if you hadn’t kept at it, we wouldn’t be here celebrating today. Your work here is a model of how we can come together to solve problems, not only here in Southwest Washington, but throughout the state."
