Unique New Spot by Jamestown Associates: "Murphy’s Law"

In a heated battle for New Jersey's governorship, middle-class, working mom Kim Guadagno is taking on Goldman Sachs millionaire Phil Murphy. Murphy has proposed $1.3 billion in new tax hikes – and he is just getting started. His spending plan would raise property, gas, income, and other taxes in one of the highest taxed states in the nation.  

In a humorous new spot called "Murphy's Law," produced for Kim Guadagno by Jamestown Associates, kids in a classroom define the term for New Jersey voters.  

"Does anyone know what Murphy's Law is?" asks the teacher. A student answers: "Murphy’s Law states that if anything can be taxed, Phil Murphy will tax it. And if it’s already taxed, he’ll raise it."  

Watch the spot here.

Jamestown Associates Congratulates Kim Guadagno on Her Primary Victory

Congratulations to Kim Guadagno on her decisive win in New Jersey's Republican primary for Governor. After defeating four other candidates, she will face a former Goldman Sachs executive, Democrat Phil Murphy, in the general election.

Jamestown Associates is proud to have produced Kim Guadagno's TV ads and direct mail, focusing on her innovative plan to make one of the most over-taxed states in the nation more affordable. The campaign was praised as "effective in the street fight of the GOP Primary."

We look forward to helping Kim Guadagno take on Phil Murphy, a wealthy, out-of-touch tax-raiser, this November.
