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.[1]

Murphy was elected Chairman by her fellow Commissioners effective February 1, 2017.[2]

On July 27, 2017, Murphy announced that she would run for Lieutenant Governor in the 2018 election.[3]
