===State and Federal Law Violations===
Patty Murray's [[2010 Midterm Elections]] campaign received scrutiny for violations of state and federal law, because a WorkSource employee used government resources to organize support for Murray’s campaign. Using taxpayer money, WorkSource employee Sally Garcia asked veterans to contact Kerala Hise, either by telephone or at a pattymurray.com address, to get involved in a ”walk and knock" to remind people to vote for Murray’s re-election.<ref>http://www.redcounty.com/content/doc-release-confirms-patty-murray-campaign-materials-sent-vets-state-employee</ref>

===Corporate Contributions===
Patty Murray is no stranger to [[corporate]] contributions, as a senior member of the [[United States]] biggest spending panel, the Senate Appropriations Committee. Murray chairs the Transportation Subcommittee, which nearly makes her a hill-czar for highway [[stimulus plan|stimulus]] [[money]], according to a politics blog at FOXNews.com.<ref>Carl Cameron.

Murray supported the 2010 [[Wall Street]] reform package in the Senate after collecting political contributions.
