Jon Huntsman Sings Patrick Murphy's Praises
No Labels, a group trying to claim the political middle and calling for bipartisanship, pointed to U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy's, D-Fla., big win over former state Rep. Carl Domino as a sign of optimism. Murphy drew the notice of former Gov. Jon Huntsman, R-Utah, the co-chairman of No Labels.
?"Problem solvers are going to set the tone in the 114th Congress,? Huntsman said on Wednesday. ?With the end of the divisive nature of an election season comes a fresh start and real opportunities to solve some of the nation'?s most pressing problems. We'?re looking forward to working with members of Congress like Murphy as part of a growing, bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus to take on the issues that we know have consensus,? like immigration and tax reform."?
Huntsman worked for President Barack Obama as ambassador to China. In 2012, Huntsman ran for the Republican presidential nomination, taking third place in New Hampshire but generally failing to make a dent in the primaries.There has been speculation that Huntsman could run again in 2016, either as a Republican or independent, but he has downplayed the possibility.
