Andy Kim picks up endorsement from defected Tammy Murphy supporter
Fulop endorsing Murphy was right at the time given his position and his city, according to Micah Rasmussen, director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics at Rider University, who adds that Fulop was not alone in the assessment.
“Now, after hearing from his constituents and watching the campaign play out, he has figured out that the opposite has proved to be the case,” said Rasmussen.
Kim has a slight edge in the number of county Democratic organizations that have endorsed his candidacy, with nine counties. With the exception of Sussex County, Kim has earned the coveted spot on the ballot known as “the line.”
Murphy has the endorsement of seven county organizations, but they are largely the more populous counties in North Jersey. Currently, Camden County is her only party endorsement from South Jersey.
