Ballots are out and online voter registration is still available up until Monday. The time to vote is now — every day is Election Day between now and November 8th. Don’t wait, vote! Make sure to tag @MurrayCampaign and use the hashtag #WASen to be included in the conversation! 

WE NEED YOUR HELP

KEY MESSAGES ON PATTY MURRAY

  1. Patty has been fighting for Washington state her entire career. She first got into politics when a male legislator told her she couldn’t make a difference because she was “just a mom in tennis shoes.” She is a tireless fighter for WA state’s working families every day in the other Washington.
  2. Patty has been called the single most effective Democratic combatant against GOP attempts to restrict abortion. Patty will always defend a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions.
  3. Patty is pro-worker and fights every day for an economy that works for everyone. She passed the American Rescue Plan to recover all the jobs lost during the pandemic, and helped negotiate the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and CHIPS and Science Act to upgrade our infrastructure, make universal high-speed internet a reality, and bring back American manufacturing.
  4. Patty helped lead the fight to lower the cost of prescription drugs and extend the ACA tax credits to lower health care premiums. Even under the Trump administration she wrote and got signed into law the No Surprises Act to ban surprise medical bills.

KEY MESSAGES ON TIFFANY SMILEY

  1. Tiffany Smiley is Mitch McConnell’s hand picked candidate who is running to flip the Senate and help enact the extreme GOP agenda that is wrong for our state. A vote for Tiffany Smiley is a vote for Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. 
  2. Abortion is on the ballot this November. Tiffany Smiley calls herself “100% pro-life,” celebrated the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, praised the cruel Texas abortion ban, and supported a federal abortion ban before she launched her campaign. 
  3. Tiffany Smiley has said she supports Rick Scott’s disastrous agenda which would end Medicare and Social Security as we know it, letting Mitch McConnell and Republicans decide the future of these programs. Rick Scott’s agenda would also sunset the Affordable Care Act after five years.

Before @MurrayCampaign takes the stage tonight, I’m signing up to phone bank with the @WashDems — talking to voters is so important this election. Join me! https://www.wa-democrats.org/organizingevents/

SAMPLE TWEETS – ABORTION

Tiffany Smiley wants POLITICIANS to be able to make women’s reproductive health care decisions — she is so out of touch with our state’s values. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

Tiffany Smiley supported a national abortion ban before she launched her campaign — no matter what she says, we can’t trust her to protect a woman’s right to choose here in Washington. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

Tiffany Smiley is anti-abortion. Tiffany Smiley wants to force women to give birth. Tiffany Smiley wants politicians to make other women’s health care decisions for them. Tiffany Smiley is wrong for Washington—vote for @MurrayCampaign. #WASen

SAMPLE TWEETS – CLIMATE CHANGE

RT to remind everyone that Tiffany Smiley said she would have voted against the biggest climate action bill in American history. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→] – and add this image!

Democrats are building a clean energy economy, creating jobs and lowering costs — ALL while saving the planet. Vote for the party that believes in facts and science, not the party of climate deniers! Vote for @MurrayCampaign. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

Tiffany Smiley is a climate denier but wants to represent the Evergreen state in the Senate?! She should not be deciding policy for millions of us  if she can’t even accept basic science.. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

SAMPLE TWEETS – CRIME/PUBLIC SAFETY/GUNS/DRUGS

.@MurrayCampaign helped pass billions of dollars to fund police departments in a bill that not a single Senate Republican voted for — and Tiffany Smiley wouldn’t have either. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

While Tiffany Smiley politicizes the drug overdose epidemic, @MurrayCampaign is focused on getting things done and providing resources to all in WA who struggle with addiction — and she’s working with Republicans to get it done. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

We need to do more on gun safety & Tiffany Smiley is not up for the job! @MurrayCampaign has a proven track record of working across the aisle to strengthen gun laws—and she knows there’s more work to be done, like universal background checks & an assault weapons ban. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

SAMPLE TWEETS – DEMOCRACY/ELECTIONS/JANUARY 6TH

Tiffany Smiley is an election denier through and through. Up until a few weeks ago she was refusing to say whether Biden was our legitimate President. We need a Senator like @MurrayCampaign who respects our democracy and understands FACTS. #WASen

https://www.thedailybeast.com/moderate-gop-senate-candidate-tiffany-smiley-wont-say-biden-was-legitimately-elected

[Click to Tweet→]

What “serious questions” does Tiffany Smiley have about the 2020 election? She’s pandering to the extreme MAGA Republicans who support her campaign and is lifting up Trump’s dangerous Big Lie that led to the insurrection. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

SAMPLE TWEETS – ECONOMY/INFLATION

Make no mistake, Tiffany Smiley and the MAGA Republican party have no plan to deal with inflation and lower costs for working families. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

The Inflation Reduction Act is lowering the cost of energy, health care, and prescription drugs. Senate Republicans’ only plan is to undo all that and raise costs on working people. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

Better access to child care strengthens our economy — we need a national plan now and we need @MurrayCampaign in the Senate to get it done. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

SAMPLE TWEETS – EDUCATION

Tiffany Smiley would be the rubber stamp Mitch McConnell needs to cut teacher jobs, end student disability programs, and eliminate Pell Grants — all key components of their MAGA agenda. She won’t put our kids first in the US Senate. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

Tiffany Smiley would have voted against the American Rescue Plan—the bill that got students back to in-person learning safely. She’s also  backed by the anti-public school DeVos family and would gut our public education system. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

Tiffany Smiley says she wants to “ban” young people in Washington state from receiving debt forgiveness but supports extending tax giveaways to billionaires and big corporations? Huh? #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

SAMPLE TWEETS – FOREIGN POLICY

Tiffany Smiley is backed by Trump’s former Secretary of State — a man who embraced dictators and sold America out. Anyone who shares his foreign policy views has no business representing us in the Senate. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

The stories coming out of #Ukraine are horrifying. We must support Ukraine against Putin and his unjust war. In times like this we need steady leadership from people who understand these issues. We need @MurrayCampaign. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

SAMPLE TWEETS – HEALTH CARE/PRESCRIPTION DRUGS

Democrats capped the cost of insulin at $35/month for people on Medicare. Senate Republicans & Tiffany Smiley want to reverse that. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

Democrats took on Big Pharma and won, giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices. Senate Republicans & Tiffany Smiley want to reverse that. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

Democrats just lowered the cost of health care for hundreds of thousands of working families in WA. Not a single Republican voted for it — and Tiffany Smiley would’ve been right there with them. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

SAMPLE TWEETS – IMMIGRATION

We need to protect DREAMers, we need a pathway to citizenship, and we need to sort out our broken immigration system. What we DON’T need is another MAGA GOP rubber stamp like Tiffany Smiley. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

SAMPLE TWEETS – MITCH MCCONNELL/MAGA REPUBLICANS

Don’t forget! After the primary, Smiley scrubbed her website of her extreme positions in an attempt to mislead the voters of WA state who she knows don’t agree with her. #WASen https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gop-candidate-tiffany-smiley-website_n_6310e628e4b088f7423b9dde

[Click to Tweet→]

“A rock-solid conservative vote.” That’s what Tiffany Smiley tells her donors she’ll be in the US Senate. You know what that means? A national abortion ban, tax cuts for the rich, ending Social Security and Medicare, and so much worse. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→] – and add this image!

SAMPLE TWEETS – POLITICAL DIVISION

Wow Tiffany Smiley sure is lowering the political temperature here by yelling nonsense at the moderators, her opponent, and the voters of WA state. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

SAMPLE TWEETS – SENIORS/SOCIAL SECURITY

Last week Tiffany Smiley said she wouldn’t cut Social Security & Medicare for people currently or soon-to-be on it. What about the rest of us?! #WASen

[Click to Tweet→] – and add this image!

Don’t let Republicans lie their way into office. If Mitch McConnell wins  a majority in the Senate, he’ll end Social Security and Medicare as we know it & Tiffany Smiley will help him do it. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

SAMPLE TWEETS – TAXES/IRS AGENTS

MAGA Republican Tiffany Smiley wants to make the Trump tax cuts for billionaires and giant corporations PERMANENT. She doesn’t work for the working people of WA state. #WASen

[Click to Tweet→]

FACT CHECK: Tiffany Smiley’s claim about 87,000 IRS agents is a LIE. She can’t win on her platform so of course she has to spread misinformation and try to mislead voters. I’m not falling for it. #WASen https://www.king5.com/article/news/verify/smiley-ad-stadium-irs-agents-targeting-families-verify/281-dc0187a6-9272-4d76-9524-1eca36b251c9

Doug White Insider – October 28, 2022

INSIDER

OCTOBER 28, 2022

GET YOUR VOTE OUT

 I was busy the last few weeks traveling to different areas in our District, getting to know voters, sharing my vision and commitment when I get elected. WA Democrat Latino Caucus, the Tri-Cities Herald,

Ballots are arriving in mailboxes across the state – that means every day is Election Day. Make sure you return your ballot by mail or in a drop box near you by November 8. Let’s flip WA-04 and bring real leadership to Central Washington!

El sábado pasado, yo estuve presente en el Parque Volunteer para la marcha de mujeres. Las legislaturas estatales, el gobierno federal, y la corte suprema no pueden arrebatarnos nuestro derecho de tomar decisiones acerca de nuestras vidas, ni la autonomía de nuestros cuerpos. La constitución protege todo ciudadano nacido, o naturalizado en este país con derechos y protecciones que no pueden ser negados. Republicanos, especialmente el Representante de nuestro Distrito, Dan Newhouse, eligió votar ‘No’ en 2022 sobre el Acto de Protección de la Salud Femenina. No respeta los fundamentos básicos de los derechos humanos. ¿Como podemos esperar que el ayude a nuestra comunidad, o, que ayude y represente a nuestra gente?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I was honored to be invited to White Swan High School as they are launching a Farm to Table program to teach students about their heritage and self-sufficient farming through growing their own food.

Good education is the backbone of a civilized and developed community. We have always been living in this land, in all its diverse beauty and abundance, and our kids should have all opportunities to learn and appreciate the gift of nature.

Tuve el honor de ser invitado a la Preparatoria White Swan ya que están lanzando un programa Del Campo-a la-Mesa para ensenar a los estudiantes sobre su herencia y como ser independientes en la siembra de sus propios alimentos. La educación apropiada es la columna de una comunidad desarrollada y civilizada. Siempre hemos vivido en esta tierra con todo su esplendor diverso y su abundancia, y nuestros hijos deben tener todas las oportunidades de aprender y apreciar el obsequio de la naturaleza.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As Election Day is coming up in less than two weeks, I have more chances to participate in multiple Candidate Forums, in Ephrata, in Tonasket, in White Salmon, at the Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce…etc. While Dan Newhouse, as usual, was a no-show.

This proved that the leader of this district has always been absent. We need someone that has the skills and capability to see the future and deliver!

Instead of arguing, we should be building! Infrastructure, energy, and rail attract family-wage jobs and secure our future. These forums are how politics should be as people face their elected officials and candidates. By sharing my visions and thoughts on critical matters such as water shortage, infrastructure, cleaning up the Hanford site, or Snake River Dams removal, I am able to reassure you and your trust that I am the right person for the job.

A medida que se aproximan las elecciones, dentro de cuatro semanas, eh tenido mas oportunidades de participar en múltiples foros de candidatura, en Ephrata, en Tonasket, en White Salmon, en la Cámara de Comercio del Valle de Wenatchee… etc. Y como de costumbre Dan Newhouse no se presento.

Esto demuestra que el líder de este distrito siempre ha estado ausente. Necesitamos alguien que posea las habilidades y la capacidad de visualizar el futuro y someter lo. ¡En lugar de discutir, deberíamos estar construyendo! Infraestructura, energía, y tranvía atraen ingresos familiares y aseguran nuestro futuro. Estos Foros son como la política debería ser mientras la gente enfrenta sus funcionarios electivos y candidatos. Al compartir mi visión y pensamientos sobre asuntos críticos tales como escasez de agua, infraestructura, la limpieza del sitio de Hanford, o la eliminación de presas del rio Snake, puedo asegurarles y a su confianza que soy la persona adecuada para esta candidatura.

I was in a debate organized by the Yakima Herald-Republic editorial board. Thirty minutes of questions with Rep. Dan Newhouse. Smart and sharp is how I would describe it.Check out these links to read about my answers.

Q&A: Newhouse, White discuss views on housing, homelessness

Republican Dan Newhouse of Sunnyside is defending his U.S. House seat against Democrat Doug White of Yakima in the Nov. 8 general election. The Yakima Herald-Republic asked each to talk about their views on housing and homelessness: The issues of homelessness and housing are compounded in the Yakima Valley.

Q&A: Newhouse, White discuss views on public safety

Republican Dan Newhouse of Sunnyside is defending his U.S. House seat against Democrat Doug White of Yakima in the Nov. 8 general election. The Yakima Herald-Republic asked each to talk about their views on Public safety: Yakama Nation and Yakima County law enforcement leaders recently sent a letter to federal officials requesting more public safety resources, including funding to support hiring more officers and support for a regional crime center.

Q&A: Newhouse, White discuss views on health care

Republican Dan Newhouse of Sunnyside is defending his U.S. House seat against Democrat Doug White of Yakima in the Nov. 8 general election. The Yakima Herald-Republic asked each to talk about their views on health care: Yakima’s only full-service hospital and trauma center reported $28.1 million in losses in the first two quarters of 2022, and the Yakima Valley’s other two hospitals, Astria facilities in Sunnyside and Toppenish, also reported first-quarter losses.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I was at pancakes with politicians this morning on NBC Right Now. Dad jokes, interviews, and pancakes.

These television appearances gave me a chance to show supporters, not just my ideal visions for the District but also let me express my personality. A chance to show you who I am as an individual. My decision to run for Congress genuinely comes from the heart as all I want is to protect our community, increase our living standard and restore the area’s economy following the rise of inflation and climate change.

For politicians who just want to hang on to power and make profits from tax money would not be able to assist everyone’s needs. All Dan knows is dams, corporations and big business, and doing exactly as his party handlers tell him to do. All that needs to be done is to look at his voting record.

Pancakes with Politicians: Doug White

KENNEWICK, Wash.- KNDU’s Pancakes with Politicians highlights candidates for different elected offices around the region. Catch the series weekdays from 5-7 a.m. The general election is Tuesday, November, 8, 2022. Doug White is running for Congress as a Democrat from Washington’s fourth district. White was born and raised in Yakima and is a fourth-generation central Washington farmer.

We only get one voice in Congress, just one. We can no longer allow our elected officials to squander our money and our future. Newhouse supported increasing our debt by $8 Trillion Dollars and the largest trade imbalance with China in our nation’s history. He cut corporate taxes by 14%, but not ours and he and his wealthy friends skimmed $300 Billion dollars off a program for small businesses.

I am a strong leader and I will make our government accountable. I have a plan and I can deliver. I ask for your vote.

Hi all,

Happy two weeks out from Election Day! 

We are coming off of a busy weekend with great events with Senator Elizabeth Warren and a very strong debate performance by Senator Murray in Spokane this Sunday. Thanks to all of you who helped make those events a success.

This next week will be a jam packed one as well. For those of you in Northwest WA, we’d love to see you at the Senator’s canvass launches in Bellingham and Oak Harbor on Saturday. On Sunday, Sen. Murray and Tiffany Smiley will take questions from voters and community members at the KIRO 7 Town Hall. You can submit questions for that event HERE. Similar to this Sunday, we’ll be looking for supporters to help with rapid response on social media—you can sign up to support that effort HERE. 

And with folks already starting to turn their ballots in, I wanted to be sure you knew the WA Dems’ Voter Protection Hotline is up and running. Please refer folks to 206-309-VOTE if they have any questions about how to vote or receiving their ballot. 

And of course — continue to drive folks to sign up to volunteer for GOTV! We need all hands on deck knocking doors and calling voters to ensure that they turn in their ballot without delay.

As always, please let me know if there are any questions or if you need anything further from the campaign!

Best,
Kate--

You can sign up to join us knocking doors HERE.

Senator Murray will close out this busy weekend with her debate against Tiffany Smiley in Spokane Sunday night.

OCTOBER 10, 2022

Weekly Recap

I was at Volunteer Park in Pasco last Saturday for the Women’s March. The state legislatures, the federal government, and the Supreme Court can not take away our right to make decisions about our lives and bodies. The constitution protects all persons born and naturalized in this county with rights and protection that can not be denied.

Republican fellows, especially our District Rep. Dan Newhouse, voted ‘No’ on the Women Health’s Protection Act of 2022. He has no respect for the most fundamental human rights. How can we expect him to help our community, to help and represent our people?

A medida que se aproximan las elecciones, dentro de cuatro semanas, eh tenido mas oportunidades de participar en múltiples foros de candidatura, en Ephrata, en Tonasket, en White Salmon, en la Cámara de Comercio del Valle de Wenatchee… etc. Y como de costumbre Dan Newhouse no se presento.

Esto demuestra que el líder de este distrito siempre ha estado ausente. Necesitamos alguien que posea las habilidades y la capacidad de visualizar el futuro y someter lo. ¡En lugar de discutir, deberíamos estar construyendo! Infraestructura, energía, y tranvía atraen ingresos familiares y aseguran nuestro futuro. Estos Foros son como la política debería ser mientras la gente enfrenta sus funcionarios electivos y candidatos. Al compartir mi visión y pensamientos sobre asuntos críticos tales como escasez de agua, infraestructura, la limpieza del sitio de Hanford, o la eliminación de presas del rio Snake, puedo asegurarles y a su confianza que soy la persona adecuada para esta candidatura.

We have been arguing over the snake river dams for over 70 years. They will not likely come down in my lifetime and they definitely will not come down in my tenure in congress. As your Representative I can prepare us for the future by expanding renewable energy production, energy storage, and alternative transportation by investing in rail and continuing to support improvements in our salmon runs.

Hemos discutido sobre las presas del rio Snake por mas de 70 años. No es probable que sean derivadas durante mi vida, y definitivamente no serán derivadas en mi tenencia en el congreso. Como su Representante yo puedo preparar nos para el futuro con la expansión de la producción de energía renovable, el almacenaje de energía, el transporte alternativo al invertir en tranvías y continuar apoyando los mejoramientos del recorrido del Salmon.

Patty Murray Update October 10, 2022

10. October 2022 · Comments Off on Patty Murray Update October 10, 2022 · Categories: Announcements, Elections

Hi all,

We wanted to start this update with important news about Senator Murray’s opponent. You may have seen Tiffany Smiley attempt a general election pivot to say she opposes a federal abortion ban. Today, this article was released showing just how misleading that line is. In 2017, when her Twitter account was for personal use, Smiley liked a tweet from Cathy McMorris Rodgers endorsing a federal abortion ban. We’d love your help getting this article circulated in your circles so folks understand exactly how Smiley is attempting to mislead Washington voters when it comes to what is at stake for choice this November.

In other campaign news, we are officially launching Senator Murray’s GOTV tour with the Coordinated this weekend. She will be making stops in Shelton, Gig Harbor, Port Townsend, Mt. Vernon, and Mill Creek. Please encourage folks to sign up to join us or for other shifts across the state. Our ground game is what is going to make the difference this final month.

And speaking of campaign events, folks in the Central Puget Sound should save the date for the morning of Saturday, October 22. Senator Elizabeth Warren will be here and she and Senator Murray will be headlining a GOTV event in Seattle to kick off the 18-day voting window! Stay tuned for additional details. 

Next weekend will be a busy one for the campaign, as October 23 is the US Senate debate in Spokane. The event hosts—the Spokesman-Review and League of Women Voters—are collecting questions now through October 15th. We encourage you to submit your questions here. I’ll also give an early plug that we’ll be looking for supporters to help with rapid response to the debate on their own social media. If you’d like to help with this effort—please reach out.

In case it’s helpful, sharing some suggested draft Facebook and Instagram posts and tweets here that you’re free to use and repurpose when talking about Senator Murray’s race this week.

As always, please let me know if there are any questions or if you need anything further from the campaign!
