She was the chairwoman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee from 2001 to 2003, and she is currently the ranking member of the United States Senate Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee .

Her first Senate race, in 1992, put her in the underdog role, facing Rep. Rod Chandler and beating him handily, 54% to 46%, in part riding Bill Clinton's coattails. In 1998 she won reelection by soundly beating Rep. Linda Smith, 58% to 42%. In 2004 she faced yet another Republican Representative, George Nethercutt, who she defeated 55% to 43%.

In December 2002, Murray made the following controversial comments before a high school audience at Vancouver, Washington:

Osama bin Laden has been very, very effective being we've got to ask, why is this man so popular around the world?

Why are people so supportive of him in many countries? He has been in many countries that are riddled with poverty.

People don't have phones, no sewers, no roads, no schools, no health care, no facilities just to make sure their daily lives are OK.

He's been out in these countries for decades building roads, building schools, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. It made their lives better.

We have not done that. We haven't been out in many of these countries helping them build infrastructure.

How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan?

Critics instantly accused Murray of calling bin Laden a humanitarian and being misinformed. Her defenders said that Murray was right to ask why bin Laden was popular so that the United States could fight him at the source, and that her remarks were mostly accurate. The Seattle Weekly, for example, said that while her remarks were simplistic, Osama bin Laden "did, according to several respected sources, help build roads, tunnels, schools, and hospitals [but not day care centers] for decades in Afghanistan."

Washington's two biggest papers, the Seattle Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer also defended Murray, as did the Bellingham Herald . Her in-state critics included the Columbian and the News Tribune .

Her husband is Rob Murray. They have two children, Randy and Sara.
