Murray, a Washington state Democrat who also is a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, was among the top 10 earmarking senators, said Keith Ashdown of Taxpayers for Common Sense. She obtained more than $247 million in projects.

Much of that came from her role as chairwoman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation. Her press releases have credited her with a minimum of $152 million for transportation and housing projects in several counties, including King, Pierce, Benton and Chelan.

She also boasts helping win at least $21 million in defense and research-and-development contracts for state firms.

America's Mom better hope that her Uber-Far-Left base doesn't get wind of those military contracts...I wonder how much of that went into improving the docks at the Port of Olympia to handle the Stryker Brigades and other military gear shipments....

How about some of that Pork is expected to build some of the Port of Vancouver infrastructure, Gramor or many other fine Clark County stuff?

Shall I get Senator Ted for you on the Red Republican phone Chief so you can talk to him about bridges to nowhere?
