Tammy Murphy sends money to five women N.J. congressional candidates

A political action committee led by First Lady Tammy Murphy has maxed out to all five women running for the U.S. House of Representatives in New Jersey.

The Stronger Fairer Forward PAC gave $3,300 each to Reps. Bonnie Watson-Coleman (D-Ewing), Mikie Sherrill (D-Montclair), and LaMonica McIver (D-Newark), and $3,300 each Sue Altman in the 7th district and Nellie Pou in the 9th.

“There has never been a more critical time to support women running for office,” said Murphy, the PAC chair emeritus. “Let’s be clear: our reproductive rights are on the ballot. Our health care is on the ballot. Childcare, senior care, affordability, and so many other issues that disproportionately affect women are all on the ballot.”

Watson-Coleman, Sherrill and McIver are seeking re-election; Altman is challenging Rep. Tom Kean, Jr. (R-Westfield), and Pou, a veteran state senator from Passaic County, is the Democratic nominee for the seat occupied until August by the late Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-Paterson).
