Biography
Patricia Lynn Murray, born on October 11, 1950, in Bothell, Washington, is a Democratic U.S. Senator representing Washington State. She has served in the Senate since 1993, making her the state's senior senator. Murray holds the distinction of being the first woman to serve as President pro tempore of the U.S. Senate, a position she held from 2023 to 2025. She is also the longest-serving female senator in U.S. history.
Raised in a family of seven children, Murray's father, a World War II veteran and Purple Heart recipient, managed a local five-and-dime store. When he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, her mother entered the workforce to support the family. Murray's early experiences with her family's financial struggles influenced her commitment to public service and advocacy for social programs.

- U.S. Senate: First elected in 1992, Murray has been re-elected five times, most recently in 2022.
