Murphy Gets Pro-Life Endorsement

The National Right to Life PAC and the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation PAC endorsed U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy Thursday in his bid for re-election to Congress representing Pennsylvania’s 18th congressional district.

In the endorsement letter to Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair, the National Right to Life PAC stated, “We believe that your exemplary pro-life record has earned you the support of all voters who are concerned with the right to life and with the protection of the most vulnerable members of the human family.”

The Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation PAC endorsement stated, “Your strong pro-life voting record in Congress shows your unwavering commitment to protecting the sanctity of innocent human life. We especially commend your support for the Protect Life Act, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act and the repeal of the pro-abortion Obamacare health care law.”

Murphy responded in a statement, “I’m humbled and thankful to receive the endorsements of Pennsylvania’s Pro-Life Federation and the National Right to Life PAC. I am committed to upholding the sanctity of life, protecting the rights of the unborn and ensuring that federal tax revenues are never used to pay for abortions. Protecting life is a fundamental core value which I will champion in Congress 100 percent of the time.”

Murphy Campaign Manager James Genovese stated, “Tim Murphy has been a fighter for conservative principles in Congress and as a result conservative groups continue to rally around Congressman Murphy.”

Since 2002, Murphy has represented the 18th District of Pennsylvania. He and his wife Nan are members of St. Thomas More Roman Catholic Church in Upper St. Clair. 

GOP challenger Evan Feinberg, who went to Peters Township High School and is now an Upper St. Clair resident, received the endorsement of the FreedomWorks PAC and the Board of Directors for the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Western Pennsylvania on Feb. 7.
