Don Murphy running for District 43 representative

1. What is your background?

I have been a small business owner in real estate for the last 40 years. I have been married to my wife, Martha, for 46 years and have two children and two grandsons. I have been involved with numerous civic organizations. I was the first Republican elected in Shelby County and have served as county commissioner, state representative and mayor. I am the only candidate with elected public experience. I am a hard-working, conservative, pro-life candidate.

2. What is the biggest issue facing the state in the upcoming year

Our state’s funding is the biggest issue. Our economy and future depends on our children. Our children’s futures are not bargaining chips. Education must be funded. Local issues that demand attention include education, flooding, sewer cost and road projects.

3. What is the biggest issue facing Hoover in the upcoming year?

Image. The people of Hoover have a strong voice, name and respect, not only in the state of Alabama but also throughout the Southeast in general. They deserve better than the image that is currently being portrayed. Let’s work together and find a better solution because no child in District 43 should have to pay to ride a school bus.
