[NYPOST] New Jersey first lady Tammy Murphy on Wednesday announced her run for US Senate in 2024, becoming the second Democrat to toss their hat into the ring after incumbent Senator Bob Menendez was indicted on federal corruption charges earlier this year."Right now, Washington is filled with too many people more interested in getting rich or getting on camera than getting things done for you," Murphy says in her campaign launch video, which then shows images of Sens. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.) as well as Menendez.
In the video, Murphy, 58, highlights her accomplishments as first lady, including her focus on improving maternal health care in New Jersey and putting climate change education in the state’s school curriculum.
"I am so proud of everything we’ve accomplished, but I know there’s a lot more to do. And that’s why I’m announcing this: I’m running for the United States Senate because we owe it to our kids to do better," she says.
Murphy, wife of Gov. Phil Murphy, has never held elected office.
