Republican Tiffany Smiley is seeking to oust U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, a Democratic stalwart who has gone from the upstart “mom in tennis” shoes to one of her party's most powerful officeholders in her nearly 30 years in the Senate.
Smiley has repeatedly attacked Murray's tenure and stature in the Senate during the campaign as the pair argued over abortion, crime and inflation during the run-up to Tuesday's election.
