Jason Murphy is as a third generation, life-time resident of Logan County. He is married to wife, Raleah, and they have two children, Jarod and Jarel.

Background

Murphy developed a series of content-reporting sites, the first of which was featured in a story in The Oklahoman (Guthrie Resident Creates New Web Site For Council - April 10, 2000).

To provide this content Murphey had to employ his knowledge of html code. Because of this skill the business was renamed to Webteks and from 2002-2005, the focus of the business changed from being primary focused on content provision into prioritizing web site design.

However, Murphy never lost his passion for using the web as a tool to allow the people to see what occurs in government.

In 2001, Murphy won election to a seat on the Guthrie Oklahoma city council on a platform of opening up city government to televised content. Murphey won approval for the television plan and a resolution requiring city documents to be placed online.

In 2006, Murphy focused on campaigning as a candidate for Oklahoma State Representative on a similar platform of opening up state government where today he serves as the Chairman of the Government Modernization Committee.

 In 2006, when Murphy campaigned for Oklahoma State Representative he also ran on a platform of never accepting contributions or gifts from lobbyists or groups that employ lobbyists. He also announced his intentions to work for reduction in the size of government, elimination of the state income tax, property tax reform and refocusing state government on essential services such as paving roads.

In 2007, Murphy won approval for House Resolution 1026 and House Concurrent Resolution 1015. In 2008, he authored House Bill 2215, House Bill 2231, House Bill 3325 and Senate Bill 1398 which were signed into law by Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry.
