Murphy: Common Sense

(From Page 1) vigilant campaign changes in the State Uniform Construction Code that required state permission for common house repairs. The candidate conducted a door-to-door petition drive, collecting 23,000 signatures. Public hearings were held throughout the state and Joseph LaFante, Director of the N.J. Department of Community Affairs announced last week that the changes Murphy requested in the code would be granted. What he has accomplished in Dennis Township, the candidate hopes to continue in the Freeholder office. “Active experience in municipal government is important training," Murphy stated. "My four years experience in Township Government is, I feel, a reliable foundation for higher office." How did a "nonpolitician" like Frank Murphy get into politics to begin with? "I entered on a dare. I was, like many people, a complainer about ineffective government, wild government spending, governmental waste and a lack of real governmental concern for the needs of the people—the things that people complain about everyday." Does running as a Democratic candidate in a predominantly Republican county pose problems. "Certainly It does. You're outnumbered about six toone," Murphy said. But, Murphy is undaunted by the odds. "When I work, I work for all the people, Democrats, Republicans and Independents," the candidate emphasized. Being a Democratic candidate or a Republican candidate is only a tag, Murphy said.

There is more of a trend toward voting for the man now than ever before," he added In reply to his opponent’s criticism that Murphy, a Dennisville committeeman and owner of the Ocean View Supply plumbing supply business will not have the time necessary to devote to the job, the candidate said, "I don't feel 111 have any restrictions." "When questions arise that have bearing on the future of the Township, I take to the streets to conduct door-to-door polls.’• ' "I always want to hear the feelings of the people,'’ Murphy said. "And, the only way I know to do that is to go to them and ask them " Murphy said he does not believe in making negative comments about an opposing candidate. "If you remain positive, you do better." Murphy has been an Ocean View resident for 12 years. He is a naUve of Philadelphia. The candidate and his wife, Betty have five children, seven grandchildren. Their youngest son, John will be married three days before the election. The candidate said he is available to speak to organizations and groups. Outside interests for Murphy include Presidency of the Township Committeeman’s Association of Cape May County. He is also life member of VFW Post 8247, Belle Plain, having served as a paratropper in Korea during the Korean War. "I have been called a •one-issue candidate’, and that is perhaps true," Murphy said. "My one issue is service to all of the people, an issue I am proud to have lived by, and will continue to do so."
