“The Things That Matter” Script:

MURPHY: “What I find on this walk is that the things that people care about here in Connecticut really don’t change.

“The cost of living. How much money are they making? How much are they paying in taxes? Are their neighborhoods safe? Those are the things that matter.

“I love Connecticut, and I love this job. I don’t take it for granted. I want people in this state to understand that I’m willing to do exceptional things to do the job right.

“I’m Chris Murphy, and I approve this message.”
