If you're looking for a typical representative, I can tell you I don't have a background in politics. What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career as a mental health professional, educator, entrepreneur and father. Skills that make me an ideal candidate to solve the problems in New York State. If you vote for me, I will go to Albany. I will put your interests first. And I will bring back common sense. Please go to Murtha4Senate.com for more information. Thank you. -Frank

"One Party Rule": New York has gone from a livable blue state to an unlivable radical state in just a couple of years The reason is the only check/balance on far left ideology - the State Senate - went from a Republican Majority to a Democrat Supermajority. We need to end One Party Rule, take away the supermajority, and restore balance and common sense.
- I have heard people say for years that the "definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result". While it's not a technically correct definition, the point is well-taken. If we want change, we can't keep sending the same people back to Albany. We need problem-solvers who put your needs first.
A Voice and a Choice for Parents: I'm self-employed, but my most important job is being a full time dad. The past couple of years I have watched schools, state departments, and lawmakers encroach more and more on parental freedoms. I will fight for Parents to have a seat at the table and choices for all decisions affecting their kids' education and safety.
I am passionate about public safety, restoring a Voice and a Choice to parents, lowering the cost of living, common sense energy policy, keeping our people and jobs, and putting problem-solving over party politics.
