Bad Votes by Nancy Murphy (D, Merrimack)

For all her ideological faults, Rosie Rung tends to get the most Democrat votes in town, which is why she is the only Democrat from our district in the State House. We have had more, and one of them is back, having hitched her equally flawed ideological wagon to Rung. Smart or dumb?

It’s dumb for Merrimack to send any of them to Concord, as they both have horrible voting records, especially for politicians arrogant enough to claim they put people over politics.

Merrimack is a Republican town, and there are no examples of them voting the way that the majority of “their town” would prefer – quite the opposite. They vote against the town’s majority interest and the people. Rung’s HRA score for the last session was 4.5%. Nancy Murphy wasn’t any better when she served (2019,2020), with an average HRA of about 6.5%. You can revisit Rung’s lousy voting record here.
