Washington GOP hopeful slams Seattle, Seahawks and Starbucks
Smiley’s broad range of targets illustrates the combative approach she has brought to her campaign, a strategy that may at first seem counterintuitive to her efforts to draw in support from enough voters to oust Murray. Cornell Clayton, a political scientist at Washington State University and director of the Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Service and Public Policy, said while people say they dislike it when campaigns go negative, such ads work.
Murray has also promoted the achievements of Democrats, saying President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill will rebuild roads, bridges and highways. She also noted Democrats passed medical improvements for veterans, a bill to make more computer chips in the United States and the Inflation Reduction Act, which will help reduce the impacts of climate change and lower the cost of prescription drugs.
Highlighting problems in Seattle, the state’s largest city, is not a dangerous political strategy, said Caleb Heimlich, chair of the Washington State Republican Party. "Murray was first elected during the "Year of the Woman," motivated to run in part by the contentious Clarence Thomas Supreme Court confirmation hearings. She has risen to chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and is a member of Democratic leadership.
