RPOF Takes Aim at New Senate Candidate Patrick Murphy

The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) went after U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Fla., on Monday after he announced he was running for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. The RPOF looked to link Murphy to President Barack Obamas federal health-care law.

The RPOF warmly welcomes liberal-insider Patrick Murphy into the race for the U.S. Senate, said state Rep. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, the chairman of the RPOF, on Monday . We also applaud him for the impeccable timing of this announcement, as it comes on the same day as the five-year anniversary of Obamacare.

And, while hell undoubtedly try and continue to run away from his record of overwhelming support for Obamacare and voters can expect to hear him parrot Republican talking points on TV and in ads, his votes and track record can speak for themselves, Ingoglia added. We look forward to voters getting to know the real Patrick Murphy, who supports Obamacare, runs with the standard bearers of the Democratic Party and puts D.C, interests ahead of his constituents.
