Murphy, a Bellefonte man widely known regionally for his feature role in Netflix's House of Cards, said he decided to run after he met with Delaware Republican Party Chairman Mike Harrington who told him no one was interested in challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. Blunt Rochester.

When he realized that, Murphy said he had no choice but to run. He told Harrington "she does not represent the views of most Delawareans."
This woman does not represent the views of the residents of this state," Murphy said. "Our current U.S. Representative aligns herself with people on the left: Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters. And among those are sanctuary cities, a topic that she has brought up numerous times. She want's to make Delaware a sanctuary state, and quite frankly I cannot accept that."

Murphy said the wall needs to be built, and that now is the time to get strong on comprehensive immigration reform that reflects the values and interests of hardworking Delawareans.
