Steve Murphy Campaign News & Updates

Over the course of the year I have occasionally remarked that it's typical of Massachusetts Democrats that, in a year where voters are clearly angry at insider Beacon Hill Democrats, the party is rallying around former party chairman Steve Grossman and former Deval Patrick campaign political director Suzanne Bump, for the open statewide offices of treasurer and auditor.

Democratic candidate for treasurer Stephen Murphy is beating - by one day - primary rival Steven Grossman to the airwaves, launching a statewide television advertisement Thursday that plays up his working-class background and emphasizes fiscal prudence.

PITTSFIELD - Steve Murphy believes he can help save taxpayers' money as state treasurer, just as he's done in Boston for more than a decade.
The veteran Boston city councilor said he mostly recently convinced Mayor Thomas Menino that refinancing the Boston's long term debt would - and did - save the city $36 million.
