He was the Green Party nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives, NY-26 district election in early 2011. BiographyMurphy, (born 31 October 1978) a native of the Buffalo area, gained national attention in February 2011 for prank-calling Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker while claiming to be billionaire David Koch, and posting a recording of the conversation online.[2] The conversation was said to reveal Walker's plots to defeat Democrats on a budget standoff[2] and Walker's willingness to cooperate with wealthy donors to quash public sector labor unions.[4] Shortly after the Koch prank, Murphy became the Green Party candidate in the New York's 26th congressional district special election to replace Republican Chris Lee who had resigned after sending a shirtless picture of himself to a woman on Craig's list.[5][6] According to the Green Party of New York state, Murphy ran to challenge the "anti-worker, pro-war, pro-corporate, anti-environmental agenda of the Democrats and Republicans."[7] During the campaign, Murphy created a satirical website using the name of rival Republican candidate, Jane Corwin, in the URL.[8] Murphy was excluded from participation in the televised candidate debates—in one case because he had previously insulted the debate moderator in one of his Buffalo Beast articles.[9] The Green Party objected to the TV station's action saying it denied voters their First Amendment right to hear the views of all the candidates.[10] Just 25 percent of registered voters turned out for the off-season election, despite national media attention.[11] Democrat Kathy Hochul won, and Murphy finished last in the four-way race with about 1 percent of the vote.[11] Controversy and criticismsIn 2007 Murphy wrote a column which purported to be an undercover report from the Creation Museum entitled "Let There Be Retards".[13] He drew the ire of conservatives with his May, 2008 editorial entitled, "Fuck the Troops".[14] In February 2011 Murphy prank-called newly elected Wisconsin governor Scott Walker posing as David H. Koch,[15] a wealthy Walker campaign contributor and funder of anti-union efforts in Wisconsin and other states. During the secretly recorded call, Walker discussed possible plans to trick absent Democratic lawmakers back to Wisconsin to obtain a quorum for the passage of the controversial anti-union legislation.[4] Murphy posted the recording on The Beast, obtaining national attention, a cult hero's welcome at the Wisconsin protests and an appearance on MSNBC.[18][19] The governor's office confirmed that the call occurred.[20][21] Koch later told the conservative Weekly Standard he considered the prank call and posting of the secret recording comparable to identity theft.[22] In late July 2011, Murphy was charged with disorderly conduct during an outdoor anti-gay marriage protest after he allegedly "directed a sex toy toward officers and told them that it was a microphone", according to the police report summary.[1] Murphy later posted the actual charge which was "disrupting a religious service", and denied the charges saying he was arrested for filming the actions of police officers—with his camera being confiscated and erased.[24] See also
