Friend, I was 23 years old when I first got the call: my husband Scotty’s Army unit was ambushed by a suicide bomber. When I showed up at Walter Reed Hospital, he was in a coma, and his eyes were pierced by shrapnel. With Scotty unable to vouch for himself, I was his only advocate - and I experienced government dysfunction for the first time while fighting for his rights as a wounded soldier. My name is Tiffany Smiley. When my husband was critically wounded in Iraq, the government elite tried to hold my family back. But we fought the establishment bureaucracy - and won. Since that day, I’ve dedicated my life to changing how government works for veterans and their families. Now, I’m ready to take that fight to Capitol Hill. I’m running for Congress to secure the American Dream not just for our veterans and gold star families, but for EVERY American who has been failed by the system. We’re just getting started, and I’m going to need an A-Team by my side to pull off a victory. If you’re ready to make government work for the people again, I want you on my team. | Sometimes it seems like the harder we’re fighting, the worse things are getting. The swamp, the bureaucracy, and grandstanding politicians are picking away at the American Dream. We’re spending money we don’t have while our border is wide open and bringing crime and drugs to our cities. Families are struggling with ever-increasing prices while homeless veterans sleep on the streets. But no matter how dark our days are, I still believe in America, and I believe we can do better. I’ve worked to change government from the outside for almost twenty years. But now I’m ready to get into the belly of the beast and deliver real change for Washington families from Congress itself. I hope that you, my friends and neighbors in the fourth district who’ve always been there for Scotty and me, will be with us once again as we take the fight to Congress. | I can’t thank you enough for all the support you have shown me over the years. I am so excited to embark on this new mission together and I know with your continued support, we can win this. | | |
