| Description | In a year when a wave of voter anger has already toppled incumbents in Utah and Pennsylvania, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) thinks she can use seniority to her advantage in a tough reelection fight.
Murray is gambling that a fresh endorsement from Boeing will help her make the case that she’ll do more to help her state in a fourth term than Republican challenger Dino Rossi could in a first.
The 59-year-old Democratic veteran has been the aerospace company’s go-to gal in its ongoing dispute with Airbus and the Pentagon over a still-pending contract to build 179 new aerial refueling tanker (KC-135) aircraft. And it’s showing its gratitude.
“Sen. Murray has been a true advocate and champion for the Boeing Co. and for our 75,000 Washington-based employees throughout her three terms, and therefore we support her in her reelection bid,” said company spokesman Doug Kennett, reading a statement.
