Phil Murphy (D – Goldman Sachs)

In the New Jersey governor’s race, Democrat Phil Murphy is going to great lengths to hide his past from voters. Even though Murphy spent 23 years working for the investment bank Goldman Sachs, he completely ignores it on his campaign website, not mentioning his former employer even once. Murphy has self-funded over $10 million of his personal fortune in the race so far in an attempt to buy the nomination – but now that he’s running for governor, hypocritically attacking Wall Street and dodging connections to former failed Governor Jon Corzine – he’s hoping New Jersey voters have a short memory and won’t ask him tough questions.

NJ Today reports:

“Phil Murphy is a candidate for governor in New Jersey’s June Democratic primary election, but troubling questions have surfaced about how much he has revealed to voters about himself and his background.

Although it is well established in fact, Phil Murphy is a former Goldman Sachs executive, but his 23-year career with the Wall Street firm is never mentioned on the candidate’s website.

Documents showing his financial assets list a number of shadowy Goldman Sachs funds that experts say include investments in fossil fuel companies or other polluters as well as some major global corporations that have dodged their responsibility to pay federal taxes in America.”
