Murphy was a candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma in the 2018 election.
==Career== Murphy defeated Democrat Jim Roth, who was appointed in 2007 by Democratic Governor of Oklahoma Brad Henry, in a 2008 special election to fill the seat vacated by Republican Denise Bode.
Murphy ran for a full term in 2010 and handily won the primary election. As no Democrat or independent candidate filed, Murphy thus retained her seat.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.capitolbeatok.com/CustomContentRetrieve.aspx?ID=3585948 |title=Election 2010: Making history with Oklahoma’s mosaic |website=www.capitolbeatok.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708115214/http://www.capitolbeatok.com/CustomContentRetrieve.aspx?ID=3585948 |archive-date=2011-07-08}}</ref>
