NRSC Calls on Patrick Murphy to Stand Against Harry Reid on Appropriations

The National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC) called on U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Fla., to stand against U.S. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s, D-Nev., plan to block the Senate appropriations process. Murphy is running for the Democratic nomination to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., in 2016. 

“Congressman Patrick Murphy needs to stand up to the partisan Senate Democrats planning on shutting down the government,” said NRSC spokesman Matt Connelly on Thursday. “It’s partisan Senate Democrats that are supporting Patrick Murphy’s campaign and unless he draws a line in the sand on their plan to shut down the government, Floridians can only assume he'll do the same thing in the Senate.”
