TheNew Hampshire Republican Party chose Murphy to replace Michael Yakubovich, the winner of the primary, when the latter had to step down due to illness.[2] A resident ofManchester, New Hampshire, Murphy defeated Manchester Alderman-at-LargeJune Trisciani, winner of the Democratic primary, in the general election by 53.4% to 46.6%.[3]
On 19 June 2023, Murphy surrendered himself to theManchester Police Department on a charge of assaulting one of his employees.[4] Senator Murphy was found not guilty of the charges. Video of the incident did not corroborate the accusations made against him, and Judge James Gleason said in the verdict that witnesses in the three day trial had demonstrated their credibility.[5]
