Sen. Murphy Named One of the Most Influential Senators by James Magazine

ATLANTA (April 8, 2013) – James magazine named Sen. Jack Murphy (R-Cumming) one of their most influential State Senators in their 2013 Georgia’s Power Brokers edition.  James is a monthly magazine distributed by InsiderAdvantage Georgia that provides an inside perspective on Georgia’s news, politics and culture.

“I am honored to be named part of a distinguished list of influential lawmakers,” said Sen. Murphy.  “As Georgia continues on the path of economic recovery, I will remain dedicated to shaping and influencing public policy to make Forsyth County and our state the best place to work, live and play.”

Matt Towery, CEO of James magazine, said, “A panel of writers and former legislators suggest names for consideration. Former James editor and ‘Most Influential’ writer Gary Reese then researches the names and makes a proposed final list. From this list the final names are selected by me as publisher along with assistance from designated writers for InsiderAdvantage and James.”

“In Senator Jack Murphy’s case, his appointment as Chairman of the Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee, vacated when Senator David Shafer was elected President Pro Tem, is the best measure of the trust his colleagues and Senate Leadership place in his intellect, and in his ability to address the major, complicated legislation that often comes before his committee. It also speaks highly of his straight-shooting reputation that he would be given such an important, if unglamorous, chairmanship.”
