Who Has More Experience as a Senator??

ROSSI

Let’s take a look at Rossi’s past experience in the Washington State Senate. He served from 1997-2003 before resigning to run for Governor.  What he is most remembered for is his work on closing a 2.7 billion dollar deficit without raising any taxes on the American Citizens. This was a great success for him that brought him a lot of popularity. He created this budget while being chair of the Senate Ways and Means Committee. During this time he also sponsored bills that had to do with child molesters, drunk drivers, and Hit-and-Run accidents. He was very successful in his run on Washington Senate and still is a good candidate for this election. Many of his stances are for the common people, and he seems to understand how the common people think especially when it comes to taxes and money.

MURRAY

Now let’s take a look at Patty Murray and her run as a Senator. Patty Murray has also been a successful senator who has sat on many committees that include Committee on veteran affairs, Committee on the Budget, and Committee on Rules and Administration, along with many others. She has been a part of Washington State Senate 1989-1993 which is the same amount as Rossi. Along with being on the Washington State Senate she has been a part of the US Senate since 1993. She has made many efforts in areas of schooling and education. Along with this she has been active in the efforts to conserving land especially when to comes to Washington State. She has also been controversial in some areas such as her speech at a Vancouver school that had some perceived that she was a supporter of Osama Bin Laden.  She has been a very successful Senator, and has qualifications that would make her an excellent choice for this election.

Both candidates have good background and experience and both are qualified for the job. It is going to be a close race, we will just have to wait and see who wins.
