Murray Visits Vancouver To Help Get Out The Vote

Sen. Patty Murray, Washington’s first female U.S. senator, recently returned from the Democratic convention and told Clark County Democrats on Saturday she was proud to see Hillary Clinton as the party’s presidential candidate. “It was amazing to me, as someone who has gone around our state and told woman after woman … that you can be whoever you want to be and give back and you can produce, to watch the highest glass ceiling get broken so women can reach for the sky,” Murray said. Murray was in Vancouver as part of a campaign effort to get out the vote ahead of Tuesday’s primary. Murray, the state’s most powerful Democrat in Washington, D.C., turned the phrase “mom in tennis shoes” from an insult into her campaign slogan.
