RGA Releases Ad Blasting Murphy for Italian Villa Vacation During Crises

August 19, 2021

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Republican Governors Association announced a six-figure ad campaign exposing Phil Murphy for leaving New Jersey for his luxury Italian villa as COVID-19 cases skyrocket, small businesses struggle, and students fall behind.

The ad will run on broadcast and cable television statewide as well as digital platforms.

“Crises continue to arise, and just like Joe Biden, Phil Murphy is missing in action,” said RGA spokesman Will Reinert. “New Jersey families need leaders – not vacationers – as times get tough, and they can count on Jack Ciattarelli to turn the state around.”

SCRIPT:

New Jersey suffered through the COVID pandemic.

Now Covid cases are skyrocketing again,

But where’s Governor Phil Murphy?

Instead of leading us through this new crisis he jetted off to his luxury Italian villa for a vacation.

Murphy leaves while businesses struggle,

thousands are out of work,

kids fall behind,

ICUs fill up…

…and our death rate is the highest in the nation.

This November, — treat Phil Murphy the same way he treats you – leave him behind.
