Murphy prepares GOP Primary campaign kickoff in 3rd District

On the heels of GOP power candidate Jon Runyan's announcement that he's launching his 3rd Congressional District campaign next Thursday, former Tabernacle Committeeman Justin Murphy announced his own kickoff date on March 27th at the Lake Pine Colony Club in Medford.

"I think Jon has the right and deserves the opportunity to present himself to the voters of the district," says Murphy, who earned 25% of the GOP Primary vote as a third place finisher behind winner Chris Myers and Jack Kelly.

"If Jon prevails, I would be happy to support him in the general election (against incumbent U.S. Rep. John Adler), but while he's been a registered Republican for three months, I've been a registered Republican for 30 years," Murphy adds. "We need more substance." 

As a self-described pro-life conservative, Murphy plans to hit the pro-choice Runyan from the right.
