Republican Tiffany Smiley: An Extremist Threat to Our Democracy

Aug 17, 2022

Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) released a new ad today highlighting the threat that ultra-MAGA Republicans like Tiffany Smiley pose to our democracy. Extremist Republicans like Smiley have pushed misinformation about our elections that undermine our democracy.

Tiffany Smiley’s extremism:

  • Questioned the “integrity” of our elections in 2020, despite allegations of voter fraud being completely debunked.

  • Refused to call the January 6 insurrection an insurrection.

  • Promoted lies about proposals that expand access to the ballot box and give Washington families a voice.

  • Accepted thousands of dollars from wealthy GOP donors who funded efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

  • Took money from Richard Uihlien, the billionaire who bankrolled the groups who organized the Trump rally on January 6.
