9:19 PM: Former GOP Aide Murray Wins Spot on Sun Prairie City Council
John Murray, a former aide to state Sen. Dale Schultz, is going to get a new view of politics.
Murray won his race for a spot on the Sun Prairie City Council, beating John Muller 601-499 in their race for a seat representing the city's 4th District.
"It starts the minute you put your name on the ballot," Murray said about being a candidate rather than an adviser. "It's been a really interesting process. It's very different when you're the candidate. You see issues very differently. People treat you very differently when you're the candidate and not the adviser."
Murray left Schultz's office at the end of January and said he's been "interviewing feverishly" for a new job.
