PASCO, Wash. — Despite winning the hearts of voters across Eastern Washington, Tiffany Smiley — the veterans advocate who came from rural beginnings in the Pasco area — lost her U.S. Senate race against Democratic Senator Patty Murray.
On the evening of Wednesday, November 9, Smiley announced that she reached out to Sen. Murray to congratulate her on the victory, concluding her campaign as results from Democratic voters poured in from the west side of Washington state.

Smiley offered the following comments to her supports in a social media post and simultaneous press release:
“This evening I reached out to Senator Murray and her campaign to congratulate her on her victory after a hard-fought race. I cannot thank my family, my team and the wonderful people of Washington state enough for their support over the past 18 months. This race was never about me – it was about the amazing people of this state and I will never stop fighting and advocating for them.”
