Republicans put up billboard targeting Stephanie Murphy

RNCC billboard Stephane Murphy

The Republican National Congressional Committee is targeting Democratic U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy‘s Affordable Care Act support with a billboard in her hometown of Winter Park.

The digital billboard message has gone up on Fairbanks Avenue, diagonally facing both westbound Fairbanks traffic and eastbound [really northbound at that point] I-4 traffic, including those coming down the off-ramp at one of the most traffic-congested points in all of Central Florida.

“Tell Stephanie Murphy No To ObamaCare! No to Single-Health Care!” the billboard reads, with a picture of the freshman Congressional District 7 congresswoman. It then provides her office number.

“Stephanie Murphy supports ObamaCare, yet her constituents are suffering under it,” NRCC Spokesperson Maddie Anderson stated in a press release from the organization. “The voters of Florida’s 7th Congressional District need to know that their representative is a supporter of the failed law, and is doing nothing to fix the problems they are experiencing because of it.”

“Now, the Democrats are moving even further left to a push for single payer,” Anderson continued. “Murphy’s constituents should make sure she is not in favor of implementing this radical, costly, and sure to fail system.”
