Larry Hogan will endorse Tiffany Smiley for U.S. Senate on Friday, saying he believes she is the best person to defeat 30-year incumbent Democratic Washington Sen. Patty Murray.<\/p>\n<p>Smiley\u2019s campaign is focused on reducing inflation and the cost of living Americans are experiencing by cutting spending, balancing the budget, and ensuring the government is running as efficiently as possible. She is also focused on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.king5.com\/article\/news\/local\/violent-crime-washington-state-police-officers-2021-crime-report\/281-cda35c7f-7e43-47d3-85c1-91c63a0c7dab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spike in crime<\/a> in Washington state and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/violent-crime-rural-america-homicides-pandemic-increase-11654864251\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">across the country<\/a>, and wants to make sure cities are funding their police departments.<\/p>\n<p>Smiley is also passionate about the fentanyl crisis, <a href=\"https:\/\/adai.uw.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/youth-fentanyl-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">which has ravaged<\/a> Washington. She believes the U.S. needs to shut down its southern border in order to stop the deadly drug from pouring over into the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am proud to endorse Tiffany Smiley for the U.S. Senate. When I ran in 2014 as a political outsider in the bluest state in America people doubted my ability to win \u2013 just as they are doubting Tiffany now. However, I know that Tiffany\u2019s message of ending the partisan gridlock in D.C. is exactly what Republicans, Democrats, and Independents are looking for. Tiffany has a record of bringing people together \u2013 regardless of background and party affiliation- to get things done on behalf of our veterans and their families,\u201d Hogan said in a statement first obtained by the Daily Caller.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need more people like Tiffany in the U.S. Senate \u2013 people willing to cut through the bureaucracy to fight for common sense solutions that unify, instead of divide, Americans,\u201d Hogan added.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7481304\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7481304\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7481304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Photo-by-Drew-AngererGetty-Images-1232131231-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Photo-by-Drew-AngererGetty-Images-1232131231-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn01.dailycaller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Photo-by-Drew-AngererGetty-Images-1232131231-1-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Photo-by-Drew-AngererGetty-Images-1232131231-1-620x413-1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Photo-by-Drew-AngererGetty-Images-1232131231-1-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Photo-by-Drew-AngererGetty-Images-1232131231-1-1536x1024-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Photo-by-Drew-AngererGetty-Images-1232131231-1-2048x1365-1.jpg 2048w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7481304\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Maryland Governor Larry Hogan holds a news conference on the state\u2019s Covid-19 situation, at the Maryland State Capitol on August 5, 2021 in Annapolis, Maryland.

As the first Republican in Maryland to serve two terms as governor in the history of the entire state, he has reminded the country of what bipartisanship can look like. He is a model of service over self-working with Democrats and Republicans alike, to help Marylanders achieve their American dream with a hand up, not a hand out,\u201d Smiley said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnlike Patty Murray, Governor Hogan has shown that when you are willing to work across the aisle for your constituents, instead of being hyper-focused on partisan pettiness, you can win,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look forward to following his lead and working with all of my Senate colleagues for policies that advance the interests common to all Washingtonians \u2013 life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,\u201d Smiley added.<\/p>\n<p>A poll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/seattle-news\/politics\/wa-poll-shows-patty-murray-up-big-over-tiffany-smiley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released<\/a> Thursday showed Murray has an 18-point lead over Smiley, leading her 51% to 33%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will It Help?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":163,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1564949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1564949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/163"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1564949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1564949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1564949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1564949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1564949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
