Breaking: Murphy to appear at Farm and Home Show

The campaign for Governor comes to Wicomico County as upstart Republican candidate Brian Murphy will take his quest to our neck of the woods today at 5 p.m. Murphy will do brief remarks around 5:15 or so, although that time may vary due to a bluegrass show adjacent to the building where the Wicomico County Republican Party table is located.

He should be in Salisbury for about an hour before leaving to work an event in Caroline County. This will be the last time Murphy will be in the Wicomico County area “for a week or two,” according to campaign spokesman Sam Hale. But the fact he’s going through the region so close to primary time seems to indicate he’s counting on the conservative Eastern Shore as a base of support.
