In the wake of Citizens United, there's a new kind of candidate on the block -- the corporate candidate.
Presenting Murray Hill, Inc.: candidate for U.S. Congress in Maryland and the first corporation ever to run for public office.
Murray Hill, Inc. is running for the GOP's nomination in Maryland's 8th CD, promising a historic campaign that "puts people second...or even third."
As Murray Hill, Inc. says:
We bought it. We paid for it. And we're going to keep it.
As a corportation, Murray Hill, Inc. can self-finance.
Update: Questions are mounting over whether or not Samuel Alito will sit on Murray Hill, Inc.'s steering committee. Asked whether he had encouraged the corporation to run for office, Alito frowned, shook his head like a pissed off six-year-old, and mouthed "not true."
