Rep. Andy Kim trounces NJ first lady Tammy Murphy in key contest to replace Menendez
Rep. Andy Kim defeated first lady Tammy Murphy on her own turf at the Monmouth County Democratic Committee convention on Saturday, garnering more than enough votes to get plum placement on county ballots for the Democratic primary to replace Sen. Bob Menendez in June.
Monmouth committee members lined up and waited an hour to crowd into the Portuguese Club of Long Branch, which was standing room only. Many committee members said it was the first time in many years that so many people had shown up for the annual convention. The Murphy campaign fought hard for the vote. Committee members told Gothamist they had received personal calls from Murphy the day before the convention, which the governor and the couple’s son also attended. Both are voting members of the committee. Peg Shaffer, vice-chair of the New Jersey State Democratic Committee, was also on hand to support the first lady.
