WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Carol Murphy for New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District.
“Elect Democratic Women is proud to endorse Carol Murphy’s campaign. As an Assemblywoman, Carol has championed efforts to codify abortion rights into the state constitution, invest in women’s health care, and lower costs. She understands the issues important to women and their families and we are confident that she will continue to advocate for those issues and her community in Congress,” said Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL), Chair of Elect Democratic Women.
“It is an honor to be supported by Elect Democratic Women in my campaign for New Jersey’s 3rd District,” said Carol Murphy. “During my time in the Assembly, I have been an advocate for future generations as we face threats to reproductive freedoms, rising costs for families, and the effects of climate change. We need more members of Congress to represent the true values of the American people, and this is exactly what I aim to do in representing New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District.”

The Executive Board is made up of six sitting members of Congress: Chair Lois Frankel, Rep. Joyce Beatty, Rep. Julia Brownley, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, Rep. Annie Kuster, and Rep. Norma Torres.
