Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
Why is @MurrayCampaign spending millions on TV promoting herself as a champion of seniors? Because in 2003, @PattyMurray VOTED AGAINST giving seniors Medicare prescription drug coverage in the first place.

Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act is the first piece of legislation *ever* to allow Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug costs. This will lower costs for patients across Washington state.
Patty Murray has been in office for 30 years and is resorting to flat out lies to try to cling to power.
@SmileyForWA has her running scared! Keep up the good work, Tiffany!

Have you checked your 401k?
This weekend I got to spend time in Bellingham, meeting with voters and sharing my vision for our state & nation.
Everywhere I go, I hear devastating stories about the impacts inflation & crime are having on Washington families.
The message is clear: it’s time for change.
Tonight marks the start of Rosh Hashanah. We wish all who celebrate a happy, healthy, and sweet new year!
Shana Tovah!
Sen. Lynda Wilson: Costly new budget just signed by @GovInslee just made WA a more regressive place to live. People would have been far better off with the Republican approach…which offered tax relief, not new/higher taxes. #waleg #Washington #taxapalooza http://ow.ly/9vJ050EPQLJ
Jay Inslee on signing carbon legislation which has conservatively been estimated by respected consulting firms to raise the cost of gas by 95 cents/gal by 2028: “Don’t let anyone give you that swill that it is going to increase prices.” 2:07 pm 5/17/21 #waleg
And just like that, with a single-vote margin (25-24) and bipartisan opposition, an income tax passes off the Senate floor. Not an excise tax…an income tax. Something Washingtonians have voted down 10 times and still oppose according to a recent Elway Poll. #NoIncomeTax #waleg
For months conservatives have criticized WA Gov Inslee’s handling of the pandemic. But now even some Democrats are exasperated at the pace of reopening. As are some local officials.
