Why Tiffany Smiley can beat Washington’s incumbent Sen. Patty Murray

Michael McKenna, The Washington Times

Lots of people in politics [claim to be] fighters. Mrs. Smiley doesn’t talk about being a fighter.

She doesn’t have to; she has been a fighter for the last 17 years. That competitive spirit has been passed along to her three sons, ages 15, 13 and 9. The youngest recently told her simply: “You better win.” Tiffany Smiley says simply: “We’re fighting for the right reasons... our family will never stop fighting for this country.”
