Murray’s Republican challenger, Tiffany Smiley, said she is right where she wants to be — heading to the No. 2 spot in the November election.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Patty Murray walk together during a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol building on June 15, 2022 in Washington, DC. The Senators spoke about abortion rights as the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to make a decision on the issue soon. U.S. Senator Patty Murray appears well positioned in her bid for a sixth term, coming out roughly 22 points ahead in early results over her challenger, Republican newcomer Tiffany Smiley.
“I am very excited about where we are,” Smiley told KIRO Newsradio Tuesday night. “A year ago when we announced this race, we wanted to be right here, where we are — me against Patty Murray. So we’re excited,” said Smiley. Smiley painted Murray as part of the problem suggesting the longtime senator had failed to deliver for Washingtonians.
Democrats are also happy with the showing for 8th District Congresswoman Kim Schrier, who came out of early primary results with 49% of the vote. But Republicans are interpreting Schrier’s sub-50% vote tally as an opening for them to flip the seat in November. It’s a similar story in the 4th District, where Democrat Doug White snagged 26% of the early votes while Newhouse holds the lead with just over 27%. Culp pulled 22% of the vote so far.The biggest feather in the Republican cap was a significant lead for Bill Boyce in the race for the 47th Legislative District State Senator seat, vacated by Mona Das. Boyce took 45% of the vote compared to 27% and 28% of the vote for each of the two Democrats in the race — Satwinder Kaur and Claudia Kaufman.
