Tammy Murphy, the first lady of New Jersey and wife of Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy, officially joined the New Jersey Democratic Senate Primary on Wednesday, pitting her in a contest against incumbent Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez.

In a Wednesday campaign launch video, Mrs. Murphy emphasized initiatives she has overseen, as the first lady of New Jersey, to address maternal mortality and expand climate change curriculums in public schools in New Jersey. She also directed a jab at Mr. Menendez.
