Chris Murphy represents Connecticut in the U.S. Senate since January 2013. He won re-election in November 2024 by approximately 17 percentage points. He is the lead Senate Democrat on gun safety (Sandy Hook in his House district shaped his career focus). He led the 2024 Bipartisan Border Bill negotiations with Sen. Lankford (R-OK).
Senator Christopher Scott Murphy (D-CT) has kept about half his major promises. Of 15 graded commitments, he kept 8, left 4 partially done, and broke 2. He did not deliver on comprehensive immigration and border reform or on restoring voting rights — both stated goals during his tenure.
We don't yet have detailed donor data or vote-by-vote records linking his funding sources to specific bills in this cycle. That means we can't yet show you which industries or committees fund him most, or how his votes align with those donors' interests. We're working to fill that gap so you can see the full picture of who backs him and what he votes for.
Narrated from FEC + Congress.gov receipts. Every figure traces to our data.
Murphy kept 53% of 15 promises tracked for the 2025–2031 term. Each verdict is term-scoped, primary-sourced, and reviewed by three sequential reviewers (neutral · conservative · progressive).
