Anti-establishment Republican Justin Murphy today received the endorsement of New Jersey Right to Life in the 3rd Congressional District.
"Honored, humbled and excited," said Murphy of the endorsement from the state's foremost pro-life organization. "I look forward to serving in Washington as a member of Congress who will work to build a 'culture of life.' I am proud to have NJRTL PAC's endorsement. My conservative values are needed in Washington, not just for economic issues, but important cultural issues such as the sanctity of innocent unborn life."
A former Tabernacle committeeman, Murphy is running in the Republican Primary against Jon Runyan, a former NFL offensive lineman.
The winner of their June primary will face U.S. Rep. John Adler (D-Cherry Hill).
