Notable personal detailsGregory Francis "Greg" Murphy is a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives for North Carolina's 3rd Congressional District, first elected in a September 10, 2019 special election. He previously served in the North Carolina House of Representatives (2015–2019). Murphy is a physician (urologic surgeon) and earned his B.A. from Davidson College and his M.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Greg Murphy supports lower taxes for working families, tax simplification, and reducing the amount the government spends annually. His stated position emphasizes continued tax cuts and fiscal restraint rather than tax increases.
Greg Murphy emphasizes physician-led, market-oriented healthcare reforms, including reducing fees, improving payment stability, and increasing hospital transparency. His public statements and legislative activity also show support for bipartisan healthcare changes rather than a single-payer or major government-expansion approach.
Greg Murphy supports stronger border enforcement and stricter immigration controls. He has opposed a Senate border-security compromise as too weak, criticized open-border policies, and said the United States requires strong immigration laws to keep borders secure and communities safe.
Greg Murphy voted for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. That vote aligns with support for abortion restrictions rather than broad abortion access.
Greg Murphy’s public messaging emphasizes affordable energy, opposition to burdensome regulation, and skepticism of expansive federal climate policy. He has also criticized EPA regulations as costly and has tied his broader economic agenda to reducing overregulation rather than pursuing aggressive climate mandates.
Greg Murphy aligns with gun-rights-oriented conservatives and is a member of the House Second Amendment Caucus. His public safety statements emphasize backing law enforcement, crime prevention, and constitutional rights rather than new gun restrictions.
Greg Murphy is in the news because North Carolina Democrats and voting rights advocates are criticizing Republican-backed election changes tied to the state legislature. The main focus is a new congressional map that Democrats say weakens minority voting power and makes the state’s only toss-up district harder for Democrats to win. Lawmakers are also pushing a bill to shorten early voting in primaries, adding to the broader fight over election rules.
