Philip Murphy, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executive considering a run for New Jersey governor, aired the state’s economic malaise to viewers of Tuesday night’s televised Democratic presidential debate.
CNN viewers saw a commercial drawing attention to the dearth of jobs that Murphy, 58, says is weakening the economy. The air time was chosen, he said, to appeal to a wide Democratic audience, and not to further any personal ambition.
