Michael Baumgartner: Advised counternarcotics team in Afghanistan

Baumgartner spent seven months advising a counternarcotics team in Afghanistan. Baumgartner spent his days urging farmers to plant wheat instead of opium poppies. He also wooed his future wife, Eleanor, a British journalist and consultant who was working with him. In 2009, the two moved back to Washington together.

Tiffany Smiley: We have a fentanyl crisis because we have a border crisis

[Press release]: "We have a fentanyl crisis because we have a border crisis. As a triage nurse, seeing fentanyl contribute to over 2,000 Washingtonians dying last year is both maddening and unacceptable. I'm running for the U.S. Senate to stop fentanyl from pouring over our southern border, stop the bleeding, and hold our federal government accountable on behalf of all Washingtonians."
