yes, at smiley for washington, we can win this race, we will win this race. patty murray, a 30 year incumbent, i was 11 when she was first elected. she is not addressing any of these issues that are facing washington families every day. we are and we have a vision. laura: i want to point out that the seahawks timing is pretty interesting considering this past saturday democrat washington state rep candidate tara simmons posted this on her official campaign facebook page. yeah. tiffany, this post looks a lot more like an endorsement than your husband watching the game in a jersey, wouldn t you say that? well, look, we need to elect leaders who will solve the issues. and just stick to football. you know, stick to football and let that entertain the great people of washington state. and let s start electing people who actually get work done. you know, the homeless encampment that i was at was actually very, very close to the seahawks stadium. it broke my heart, laura, to see
