Tammy Murphy, the spouse of New Jersey’s Democratic Governor Phil Murphy, is reportedly preparing to enter the race for the U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by Democratic Senator Robert Menendez.
Menendez has resisted calls to resign despite facing federal bribery and fraud charges.
According to a report by NJ Advance Media on Wednesday, Tammy Murphy is expected to establish a campaign account soon, signaling her exploration of a run for Menendez’s Senate seat. She has been actively engaged in her role as New Jersey’s first lady and maintains an office in close proximity to her husband, Governor Phil Murphy, as reported by NorthJersey.com in 2018.
