Murphy won't say if any Democrats shouldn't be re-elected this year

Gov. Phil Murphy declined to say Tuesday whether any of the Democratic legislators up for re-election this year shouldn’t be returned to office.

“I won’t answer that question,” Murphy said, standing next to Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin at an unrelated press conference. “I continue to hope we will find common ground. I know why I was elected. I know what brought me to the dance, and I’m hopeful that we can find common ground.”

All 54 of the Assembly seats held by Coughlin’s members are up for re-election, as is State Sen. Bob Andrzejczak’s seat in the upper chamber.

Murphy was asked the same question at a press conference on Sunday. He declined to answer then, saying he could not hear the question.
