<p>Democrats have poured millions of dollars into the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/washington">Washington</a> Senate race, a deep-blue state that recent polls suggest Republicans may take back the seat that a GOP member hasn&#8217;t occupied since 2001.</p>
<p>Sen. Pat Murray, the state&#8217;s Democrat leader seeking a sixth term, has been campaigning against political newcomer Republican Tiffany Smiley.</p>
<p>The Seattle Times <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/patty-murray-tiffany-smiley-spar-over-crime-abortion-climate-at-wa-senate-debate/">reports</a> Murray&#8217;s campaign has spent more than $17 million on the race, while Smiley&#8217;s has spent over $10 million.</p>
<p>Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group, ran a Monday <a href="https://twitter.com/natalie_allison/status/1584616115015413760?s=20&amp;t=eZpFFmAgNfDVFut_4PV49w">poll</a> showing a 6-point race between Murray and Smiley.</p>
<p>David Bossie, president of Citizens United, told <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/10/26/democrats-washington-patty-murray-senate-00063447">Politico</a> the race &#8220;should not be a contest,&#8221; considering Murray won the state with 59% support in 2016 and President Biden with 58% in 2020.</p>
<p>&#8220;Washington state is not a purple state. It is not a marginal state. It is a deep-blue state. To be having this conversation is a bad omen for Democrats,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>According to a Politico report, Murray and her campaign dropped $1.5 million in ads with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. And in recent days, she reportedly received approximately $6.5 million from EMILY&#8217;s List, a pro-abortion Super PAC group, which also spent most of the funds on television advertisements.</p>
<p>&#8220;With Republicans threatening a national abortion ban, we need Patty Murray more than ever,&#8221; Benjamin Ray, EMILY&#8217;s List spokesman, told the publication, adding the Democrat Senator is &#8220;a trailblazer and a champion for women&#8217;s freedom to control their own bodies.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Politico, the National Republican Senatorial Committee has spent $750,000 in Washington.</p>
<p>&#8220;Tiffany Smiley is running an incredible campaign, and she&#8217;s got 30-year incumbent Patty Murray and national Democrats running scared,&#8221; Hartline said.</p>
<p>During a debate Sunday night, Smiley blamed Murray for the many issues that have plagued the state and country, noting Murray&#8217;s 30-year career in politics.</p>
<p>&#8220;Crime&#8217;s out of control; Patty Murray is to blame,&#8221; Smiley said, according to The Seattle Times. &#8220;Sen. Murray and Joe Biden have shown extreme weakness on the world stage,&#8221; referring to the war in Ukraine.</p>
<p>Smiley further noted on the debate stage that Murray and the D.C. establishment have caused the Southern border crisis, which she said has allowed China to push &#8220;components of fentanyl across.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite left-wing money funding smear campaigns on Smiley, the Republican challenger told Murray to disavow her campaign&#8217;s &#8220;dangerous rhetoric that has spent millions of dollars to attack and paint her&#8221; as a so-called threat to democracy.</p>
<p>Last week, the Seattle Times poll published a poll that showed Murray losing ground as Smiley has found solid footing in the Pacific Northwestern state.</p>
<p>Murray holds an 8-point lead over Smiley showing 49% to 41%, according to SurveyUSA&#8217;s latest polling conducted exclusively for The Seattle Times. In July, Murray was at 51% and won the primary at 52%.</p>
<p>Smiley, however, gained substantial support over the same course jumping from 33% to 41%, including earning half of the Independent voter&#8217;s support compared to Murray&#8217;s 34 percent.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">We are 15 days from Election Day and the choice before Washingtonians is clear &#8211; motivation and principle versus a 30 year career politician. </p>
<p>I encourage everyone to vote and make their voices heard this November! <a href="https://t.co/DXK6sCepAH">pic.twitter.com/DXK6sCepAH</a></p>
