My story in pictures

I wanted to share these special moments with you. I wanted to tell you a little bit about myself and why I’m running for the U.S. Senate in Washington. [View this message in your browser]( Friend, My name is Tiffany Smiley and I wanted to tell you a little bit about myself and why I’m running for the U.S. Senate in Washington. I grew up in Pasco, Washington where I helped out on my family’s farm and learned the value of hard work. [I helped out on my family’s farm and learned the value of hard work.]( I went on to play soccer at Whitworth College, where I also studied to become a nurse so I could pursue my passion of helping others in need. [I went on to play soccer at Whitworth College]( I married my high school sweetheart Scotty, who went on to serve our country in the United States Army while I started my nursing career. [I married my high school sweetheart Scotty]( In 2005, I received a call that changed both our lives forever, Scotty was severely wounded by a suicide bomber in Iraq, causing him to fall into a coma and permanently lose sight in both of his eyes. I immediately booked a flight for Walter Reed Medical Center to be by Scotty’s side. [Scotty was severely wounded by a suicide bomber in Iraq]( When I arrived, Scotty was still in trauma care, and I was informed that he would never be able to serve his nation again in uniform. They even asked me to sign a document, right there on the spot, consenting to Scotty’s immediate discharge from the Army. I refused. Since that day I've made it my mission to ensure Scotty, and every veteran gets the benefits and care they earned. [Since that day I've made it my mission to ensure Scotty, and every veteran gets the benefits and care they earned.]( Scotty went on to serve as America’s first blind active-duty Army officer, breaking barriers for many who followed along the way.

But we defied the government in a big way—and won. We stood up to a broken bureaucracy because it was the right thing to do. I will always stand up for our heroes and continue being an advocate for our veterans in the U.S. Senate. [I will always stand up for our heroes and continue being an advocate for our veterans in the U.S. Senate.]( In 2007, we welcomed our first child. While Scotty will never be able to ‘see’ our children’s faces, he’s always been an incredible father and hero to our boys. [In 2007, we welcomed our first child.]( Now, our family is taking on a new challenge. I'm running for US Senate to help families across the country achieve the American Dream and save our country from Joe Biden and Patty Murray. I will take the same fight and optimistic spirit I’ve shown throughout my life to help Washington families secure a better life. I believe that now, more than ever, Washingtonians need a voice to find solutions to their unique problems and end the partisan gridlock in Congress. [Washingtonians need a voice to find solutions to their unique problems and end the partisan gridlock in Congress.]( My family began this journey in the halls of Walter Reed and we look forward to continuing this journey in the halls of the United States Capitol. I would love for the next photo in this story to be us winning this race with my family by my side. We can’t do that, however, without your help, friend. [So please, can you chip in just a few bucks to help us keep up the momentum we’ve achieved so far.]( [KEEP TIFFANY IN THE FIGHT]( [STAND UP FOR AMERICA]( I know with your support we can win this.
