Patty Murray, the third-most senior member of the U.S. Senate, is seeking her sixth term in office.

Tiffany Smiley is seeking her first term in office. The veterans’ advocate was shaped by her experience caring for her husband after he was severely wounded while serving in the U.S. Army in a deployment to Iraq.
