UPhil Murphy.UKevin B. Sanders woMqwalaseli Emva kwezigidi zeedola, ukuqala kwakhona okubalaseleyo, iintengiso zikamabonwakude kunye nezixhobo zomkhankaso, oko kuye kwabonakala kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo kukuba uPhil Murphy ngomnye wamagcisa akrelekrele kwezopolitiko kurhulumente, esebenzisa zonke izinto anazo uthathe i-New Jersey Democratic Party kwaye ube ngumtyunjwa wayo kwirhuluneli.
Kule meko-ukubekela bucala ukwahluka komgaqo-nkqubo-uMurphy akafani nendoda anethemba lokuyibuyisela. Ugqirha uChris Christie usenokungathandwa kakhulu namhlanje, kodwa wayekhe wawazi kakuhle lo mdlalo, naye. Wayecwangcise ukuhamba kwakhe phambili njengo Murphy. Waqesha ezinye zeetalente zezopolitiko. Wayengumbhexeshi omkhulu weligi kunye nokunyamezelana okuphezulu kwezopolitiko. Kwaye waba ngumfundi weengxabano zegazi, izibophelelo kunye nemveli etshayayo yezopolitiko zaseNew Jersey - kwaye yahamba ngokufanelekileyo.
UMurphy, 59, owayesakuba yibhanki yaseGoldman Sachs, uphumelele ngesandla ukhetho lweDemokhrasi ngoLwesibini ebusuku emva kweenyanga ekhokele ukuvota kunye nokuchitha imali engaphezulu kwe-21 yezigidi zeedola, hayi nje kwiphulo lakhe, kodwa kwiqela lama-527 kunye nenqwaba yabagqatswa kunye Iikomiti zeqela ezisebenza phantse kuwo onke amanqanaba orhulumente waseNew Jersey. Iminikelo yokuqala, isibini seetsheki ezixabisa i-30,000 yeedola ukuya kwi-Assembly-Leader Minority Leader's committee's leadership committee, yeza ngo-2001, unyaka emva kokuba uMurphy nosapho lwakhe befudukele eMiddletown.
Ukusuka ngo-2006 ukuya ku-2009, uMurphy wayengusihlalo wezezimali weKomiti yeSizwe yeDemokhrasi phantsi kukaWoward Dean, ephakamisa i-300 yezigidi zeedola ukunceda ekuphumezeni iqhinga lamazwe angama-50. Waye wabizwa njenge-ambassador yase-US eJamani nguMongameli uBarack Obama, esebenza ngo-2009 ukuya ku-2013.
Iidemokhrasi zibone umgqatswa wendalo elele ngaphakathi kweMurphy kwiminyaka eyadlulayo. Omnye wabalandeli bakhe abakhulu yayingu-Sen Sen wase-United States u-Frank Lautenberg, owayechukunyiswe kukubaleka kuka-Murphy e-DNC kunye nomsebenzi wakhe wesisa kwaye wazama ukumtyhala ukusuka ngasemva ukuya kwindawo ephezulu yetikiti.
Ndicinga ukuba uLautenberg wabona kuPhil kancinci kuye, utshilo uBrendan Gill, umphathi wephulo likaMurphy kunye nomphathi wombuso waseLautenberg. Bobabini bavela kwinto engekhoyo, eyenziwe ngokwabo, beza kwizikolo zikarhulumente, bazifumana ngokwamaziko emfundo ephakamileyo: I-Lautenberg e-Columbia, Phil e-Harvard.

Bobabini abaDemokhrasi baqala emva kwexesha kwezopolitiko, emva kwemisebenzi yokubhabha ephezulu kwezeshishini, utshilo. U-Lautenberg waseka i-Automatic Data Processing, inkampani yeenkonzo zokubhatala, kwaye uMurphy wayengumphathi ophezulu we-Goldman Sachs owathi ekugqibeleni wanyuka waya kwikomiti yakhe yolawulo, wakhokela ukusebenza kwe-Asia kwaye wabambelela kwicandelo lolawulo lotyalo-mali.
Malunga ne-2012, uLautenberg wacinezela owayengu-Sekela Mongameli uJoe Biden ukuba abhabhe aye eJamani ngeenjongo zokufumana uMurphy kugqatso olubalulekileyo. UBiden akazange atsho ukuba yeyiphi, kodwa uqikelelo olufundileyo luya kuba ngumdyarho werhuluneli yaseNew Jersey ngo-2013, xa uChristie wayelungiselela unyulo kwakhona.
UChristie wayekhwele phezulu ngelo xesha. Uninzi lwedemokhrasi lukhethe ukuhlala ngaphandle komdyarho.
Kwaye kubonakala ngathi uMurphy ugcine ipowder yakhe yomile.
Inzalelwane yase-Needham, Mass., Ihlomela-dolophu laseBoston, uMurphy uthathe inyathelo lakhe lokuqala kwindawo yezopolitiko yaseNew Jersey ekuqaleni kuka-2014 emva kokubuya eJamani. Waseka ingeniso engenzi nzuzo, iNew Start NJ, ngoku engusihlalo ngumfazi wakhe uTammy, eyamnika isingeniso kwiingxoxo zenkqubo zikarhulumente kunye nesithuthi ukuqala ukwenza unxibelelwano nabachaphazelekayo kunye neenkokheli zopolitiko. Ukhawuleze wafuna ingcebiso kuJulie Roginsky, umcebisi weDemokhrasi onamava owayesebenze amaphulo amakhulu eNew Jersey, nakwivenkile yentengiso yezopolitiko iMyalezo neMedia.
Ke kwangoko, ekuqaleni kuka-2015, uMurphy wabhalisa uGill, omnye wabasebenzi abaphezulu beDemokhrasi eNew Jersey, etyibilika kwimikhankaso yelizwe lonke kunye nokusebenza eWashington, D.C.
Isikhulu sase-Essex County, uGill ngaphambili ebesebenze kwi-Assembly Assembly nakwi-Reps yase-US. U-Bill Pascrell kunye no-Steve Rothman. Uchithe iminyaka njengomlawuli wombuso waseLautenberg kwaye ebaleka ugqatso lwe-Sen Sen Cory Booker e-2014 emva kokumcebisa kunyulo olukhethekileyo luka-2013 lokugcwalisa isihlalo esasingenamntu ngokusweleka kukaLautenberg.
Ubambiswano luye lwavelisa iziqhamo, luchaza into eyayiyinxalenye yomnqophiso waseMurphy kwimicimbi eyaqala ukusebenza kumagumbi abaluleke ngasemva apho abaphathi beDemocratic Party banqumamisa isivumelwano kwaye banika nemiyalelo yokuhamba, utshilo uPatrick Murray, umlawuli IZiko lokuVota leYunivesithi yaseMonmouth.
UPhil Murphy ngobukrelekrele wazirhangqa ngemisebenzi eyomeleleyo yomkhankaso ekhokelwa nguBrendan Gill, othe wachitha ixesha elingcono kule minyaka ingama-20 idlulileyo kwimisele yezopolitiko zaseNew Jersey, utshilo uMichael Soliman, osisiqhinga seDemokhrasi. Ngelixa abanye abagqatswa besenza amangeniso amancinci kumacandelo ahlukeneyo eNew Jersey kwangoko kugqatso lwerhuluneli, uBrendan waqonda ukuba enye yezona zinto zibaluleke kakhulu ekuphumeleleni iprayimari yelizwe lonke kukuzonwabisa kwimibutho yezithili ezininzi kangangoko.
UMurphy ubambe amakhulu eentlanganiso kwaye esika amakhulu eetsheki, esakha ulangazelelo phakathi kweenkosi zeqela kunye nokuphumelela indumiso ngokujolisa komgaqo-nkqubo kunye nendalo.
Wayengumfana nje oqhelekileyo, utshilo uLou Stellato, usihlalo weBergen County Democratic Organisation. Wayengazikhethi. Ungahlala phantsi ufumane ikofu kunye naye, ube nesoda kunye naye, ube notywala kunye naye. Kwakukho indawo yokuthuthuzela apho ukuqala kwam ukudibana naye.
Iidemokhrasi ezabona uMurphy kufutshane zihlala zenza isimanga esifanayo: Akakho nguJon Corzine. (Owokugqibela u-Goldman Sachs alumnus ukuba abalekele kwirhuluneli njenge-Democrat, uCorzine unento eyaziwayo ukuba ukude.)
Okubaluleke ngakumbi, uStellato uthe, uMurphy wayeyazi imicimbi ebandayo kwaye wayeyile isicwangciso sokubuyisela iidemokhrasi emandleni emva kweminyaka esibhozo kaChristie.
UGill uthe uMurphy wangena ebaleni njengenani elingaziwayo phakathi kweenkokheli ezimbini ezazisekwe ezazisenza amaphulo oburhuluneli: USodolophu weSixeko saseJersey uSteve Fulop waseMantla eJersey kunye noMongameli weSenate uSteve Sweeney waseSouth Jersey.
Kodwa uFulop noSweeney babenezandla ezipheleleyo zokulawula ishishini labo likarhulumente, ngelixa babegcina iliso elinye kugqatso lwerhuluneli. Kwaye uMurphy wayekhona konke, okwamnika indlela yexabiso elingenakuthelekiswa nanto, utshilo.

UPhil uchitha ixesha elininzi edibana nabantu kwilizwe liphela ukuthetha ngemicimbi, hayi ezopolitiko, yimicimbi nje, utshilo uGill. Watsho ukuba emva kweBridgegate, amaqela abhengezayo kunye namagosa anyuliweyo baziva ngathi akukho nto kubunkokheli kurhulumente kwaye banomdla wokuva kumntu onemibono emitsha, indima uMurphy wayevuya ukuyizalisa.
Kodwa bekukho neempawu zopolitiko owayezokuvala zonke iipokotho zenkxaso awayenokuthi ngayo nangayiphi na indlela.
Ekupheleni kukaSeptemba, uMurphy wabamba intlanganiso noFulop, kwaye kungekudala emva koko, usodolophu weSixeko saseJersey wabhengeza ukuba akazukujoyina ugqatso kwaye wamkela uMurphy kumnyhadala owenziwe ngokungxama ngaphandle kweholo yedolophu.
Uqikelelo luye lwanda kangangeenyanga. Iidemokhrasi zakhwankqiswa.
Ejongane nethemba loburhuluneli baseSweeney apho amaDemokhrasi aseSouth Jersey abiza imipu eTrenton, abaphathi beqela emantla baphosa inkxaso yabo kwiintsuku zikaMurphy kamva, ngo-Okthobha.
Ukuxhaswa kwabo beza nomvuzo omkhulu: indawo ephezulu yokuvota kwiindawo ezininzi zaseNew Jersey. USweeney wayeka esikolweni, esithi indlela yakhe yadutyulwa. Kungekudala, zonke iikomiti zedemokhrasi ezingama-21 zazisemva kukaMurphy. Ngobusuku, waba yintandokazi engathandekiyo ukuphumelela ukutyunjwa. Zonke iimanyano zabasebenzi eziphambili kunye namaqela axhasa ngenkululeko alandelayo, bonke abezendalo, bonke abanikeli abaphambili. Abavoti bathi umdlalo uphelile. Imithombo yeendaba yesizwe khange ithathe mdla kugqatso kwiveki ephelileyo.
UStellato wayeyinxalenye yomanyano olwaluxhasa uMurphy ngo-Okthobha, kodwa wayedlala phantsi ungquzulwano lwengingqi.
Silapha ukuphumelela, utshilo. Ukuba bekukho umntu ovela emazantsi ebesicinga ukuba uzakuba yintloko namagxa ngaphezulu kwabanye abagqatswa, kwaye ophumeleleyo, yindlela esinokuhamba ngayo. UPhil Murphy wayenaloo mntu. Umbono wawucacile ukuba uMurphy wayenemibono, wayenetanki lokucinga, kwaye wayenamandla okuyenza.
UGill uthe uMurphy wayezimisele ukuhamba umgama ngeFulop okanye uSweeney ngaphandle kogqatso.
Ngexesha uFulop aphuma ngalo, uPhil wayesele enabo obo budlelwane; utyale ixesha elininzi, utshilo. Siphinde satyala imali kakhulu kubantu kwiqela lethu abaye banceda ekuqinisekiseni ukuba uPhil ufumana intshayelelo kuluntu oluqhele ukuziva lungakhathalelwanga yinkqubo yezopolitiko, enje ngemibutho yaseLatino, amaqela ezenkolo kunye nophilanthropic, amaqela ophuhliso lwedolophu kunye nezinye iindawo.
Ndicinga ngokwenene ukuba kukho umgangatho wokugqwesa kukaPhil, watsho. Kungenxa yoko le nto ubona imibutho iphendula. Yiyo loo nto ubona iinkokheli zopolitiko zisabela. Yiyo yonke ipakethe. Ayilotyalo-mali embuthweni kuphela, esiwenzileyo nesime emva kwawo.
Asizange sinike imali kwimibutho yaseburhulumenteni. Sixhase imibutho yekhaya neyasekhaya ngezinto ezinobuchule abafuna ukuzenza ukwakha iqela lethu leDemocratic Party.
Ukusukela ngo-2001, uMurphy wanikela phantse ngama-200,000 eedola kubagqatswa beDemokhrasi yaseNew Jersey. Unike phantse i-726,000 yeedola ngaphezulu kokukhankasela iikomiti zemidyarho yezomthetho, koomatshini beDemocratic county kunye nakwimibutho kamasipala yeqela. UMurphy kunye nenkosikazi yakhe bathulule phantse i-3.8 yezigidi zeedola kwiqela lama-527 lezopolitiko, iNew Way yeNew Jersey, ngokweerekhodi ze-IRS. Kwaye wayezixhasa ngemali ephantse yafikelela kwi-16.4 yezigidi zeedola ngaphandle kwe-20.1 yezigidi zeedola awayeyichithe kugqatso lwakhe oluphambili ukusukela nge-23 kaMeyi.
Utyalomali luhlawulwe ngepesenti ezingama-48 zevoti kunyulo lokuqala apho malunga ne-500,000 yabavoti beDemokhrasi baphuma. Oko kwabetha ulindelo kodwa kwakusezantsi kunamanqanaba okuphuma asethwe nguCorzine ngo-2005.
UMurphy uchithe izigidi eqhuba iintengiso zikamabonakude phantse unyaka, kodwa zimbalwa izikhululo zoluntu ezikhutshwe ngo-2017 zibonise ukuba ngaphandle kokuchitha akakho kufutshane negama lendlu kwaye uninzi lwabavoti balungisa ugqatso lwerhuluneli.
Ndidla ngokucinga ukuba amaphulo anabacebisi abathi, 'Kufuneka uziphawule ezi bhokisi ngokweenkcitho,' utshilo uBrigid Harrison, unjingalwazi kwezopolitiko kwiYunivesithi yaseMontclair. ‘Nanku umthengisi wethu wentengiso kamabonakude, nanku umthengisi wethu wee-imeyile ezithe ngqo.’ Kukho indawo yemizi-mveliso yezokwakha ejikeleze inkcitho yephulo.
UMurphy uceba ukuchitha inkcitho yakhe kwi-13.8 yezigidi zeedola kunyulo jikelele kwaye amkele imali ehambelana noluntu, nangona kunjalo, ukuqhuba iintengiso kwangoko kumjikelo kunokuba sisibonelelo. Mhlawumbi kuvula indlela yokwanda kwegama, ukubonakala, inqanaba lokuthuthuzela kunye nokhetho jikelele oluqhubela phambili, uHarrison wacaphukela.
Apho abaxhasi bakaMurphy babona umfana oqhelekileyo ophethe iipokotho ezinzulu ethembisa utshintsho olwandle lwenkululeko eTrenton, izimbangi eziphambili zikaMurphy zokutyumba, iNdibano yeNdibano uJohn Wisniewski kunye nowayesakuba ngunobhala kaNondyebo wase-U.S. UJim Johnson, babona iprutocrat yonakalisa idemokhrasi kwaye yenza izithembiso zobuxoki.
UWisniewski kwenye ingxoxo-mpikiswano wathi uMurphy ngumhanahanisi wokutyhala imigaqo-nkqubo yamandla acocekileyo ngelixa ebambe utyalo-mali kwiinkampani ezibandakanyeka kwimibhobho ye-hydrofracking kunye negesi yendalo, kwaye uMurphy ngelo xesha wayethe akukho mpendulo ilungileyo anokuyinika kuloo manqaku.

Sinomgqatswa owenze ukuba le nkqubo ingene emxholweni - lihlazo isixa semali, utshilo uWisniewski kwingxoxo-mpikiswano yeDemokhrasi kwinyanga ephelileyo. Yintlawulo yokudlala ngowona mngcipheko mkhulu, wahlawulisa. Sibonile iingxelo zomkhankaso kaPhil apho athe wabiza ixabiso ukuya kuthi ga kwi-20 yezigidi zeedola, kubandakanya nemali mboleko yezigidi zeedola ezili-15- yimali engamanyala leyo kwaye iNew Jersey inokwenza ngcono, utshilo.
Esinye sezitulo zedolophu sathi, 'ndilawula iivoti ezingama-10,000,' wongeze uJohnson kamva. Ayiyontando yesininzi leyo.
UGill uthe oko kwakutyebile, ucinga ukuba uWisniewski wayengusihlalo weKomiti yeDemokhrasi yaseNew Jersey kwaye uJohnson wayeligosa eliphezulu kuNondyebo phantsi kukaMongameli uBill Clinton.
Savunywa zizo zontathu iimpapasho eziphambili zerekhodi, utshilo uGill, ebhekisa kwiRekhodi yeBergen, i-Star-Ledger kunye nePhiladelphia Inquirer. Abaphembeleli yimibutho yezopolitiko.
USoliman uthe uMurphy wabaleka eqongeni wenkululeko (ukunyuswa kwerhafu kwizityebi, ukuhlawulwa ngokulinganayo kwamadoda nabafazi, umvuzo ophantsi oyi- $ 15, inkxaso-mali epheleleyo yezikolo kunye neepenshoni, utyalo-mali kwezemfundo ephakamileyo, ukugunyazisa intsangu, ukuvala imingxunya edla ngokuxhamla iWall. Abaxhasi bezitalato, bexhathisa uMongameli uTrump) kwaye basebenze nzima-kwakude kudala ngaphambi kokuba abenemigca yommandla-kwinkundla yamakhulu amagosa eDemokhrasi, abameli bomthetho kunye nabani na onokuvota kwiindibano zombutho.
Kwezinye iiholo zasezidolophini, uMurphy wayeza kubalisa ngendlela uChancellor waseJamani u-Angela Merkel azinikele ngayo ukuza eNew Jersey eze kumkhankasela, emva koko aqalise ukubetha amagama abo bonke oosodolophu kunye nabameli bebhunga kunye namalungu eNdibano kubaphulaphuli kunye nendlela wadibana nomntu ngamnye kunye noko baxoxa ngako.
Xa kufika ixesha lokuvota, uninzi lwabantu, ukusuka kumalungu ekomiti yenqila ukuya kubavoti kwiziprayimari zangoLwesibini, abangahlangani nje kwaye bayamthanda uPhil kodwa bakholelwa ukuba ungumntu olungileyo ukuzisa iiDemokhrasi ukuba ziphumelele kulo-Novemba ngenxa yemigaqo-nkqubo awayeyibekile phambili kulo lonke eli phulo, utshilo uSoliman.
Xa ebuzwa ukuba ngaba uMurphy ubalekele ngasekhohlo na ukuze azifihle ngokugxekwa kwimbali yakhe yaseGoldman Sachs, uMurray, umvavanyi weYunivesithi yaseMonmouth, wathi ayisiyiyo into ayifunayo.
Yile nto ayikholelwayo, utshilo.
U-Lt. U-Gov. U-Kim Guadagno, umgqatswa we-Republican, sele ebhale i-telegraphed esithi uzakube esenza umdyarho malunga nesithembiso sika-Murphy sokunyusa irhafu kunye nokuqhubela phambili inkcitho kwimeko apho abavoti bathi bahlawule kakhulu.
Sinembali ende eNew Jersey ukuba lulwaphulo-mthetho olukhulu ukuba kude ekunene kunokuba kukude ngasekhohlo, kwaye sibona ixesha nexesha kwakhona, utshilo uMurray. Andiqondi ukuba wayecinga kakhulu kwangoko kwangoko. Ndiqinisekile ukuba abanye babacebisi bakhe bacinga ngayo kodwa bakholelwa ukuba loo mbali, idityaniswe nobutyhefu bukaChris Christie wamaRiphabhlikhi kweli lizwe, ibingazukumenzakalisa.
Iidemokhrasi zixela kwangaphambili ukuba uMurphy uya kuba nokukhwela okulula kakhulu okulwa neGuadagno, u-lieutenant ka-Christie othembekileyo kule minyaka isixhenxe idlulileyo, kunokuba ebezakuyifumana ngokuchasene ne-Assemblyman uJack Ciattarelli, ophume kwindawo yesibini kwindawo yokuqala ye-GOP.
Ndicinga ukuba uza kuphendula ngenxa yezono zikaChristie, utshilo uStellato. Badibene esinqeni. Ngesiquphe ngoku une-visceral yokucekisa umntu? Yipilisi enzima ukuyiginya.
Kwaye uMurphy, ngoku ukufuphi nebhaso kunanini na ngaphambili, uya kuba nayo i-megaphone enamandla ngexesha lakhe xa abahlali baseNew Jersey benobundlobongela obunzulu kumongameli ohleliyo.
UDonald Trump uza kunciphisa ukhathalelo lwempilo, uya kugcoba imfundo yoluntu, uya kutshabalalisa imeko-bume yethu kwaye ajolise kuluntu oluvela kwamanye amazwe ukuze ondle umbono wakhe ophambeneyo waseMelika, utshilo kwintetho yakhe yoloyiso ngoLwesibini ebusuku. Siza kuma kulo mongameli ngomqolo wentsimbi size simxelele, ‘Awuyi kuyenza loo nto, Mnu. Mongameli, kwilizwe elikhulu laseNew Jersey.’
Ukulungiswa (9:39 pm): Eli bali lihlaziyiwe ukubonisa ukuba iNdlela eNtsha yaseNew Jersey liqela lama-527, hayi iPAC ephezulu.
