Murphy’s Political Status Going Down to the Wire

Scott Murphy still doesn’t know if he’s going to stay working as a VC or join the politico ranks. Murphy, a managing director at Advantage Capital Partners, was hoping voters in his upstate New York district would elect him as a representative to the state congress in a special election held yesterday. But the race is too close too call. As of this afternoon, Murphy, a Democrat and former software engineer, had about a 50-vote lead over his rival, James Tedisco, a veteran Republican assemblyman.
