Republican Representative Greg Murphy has successfully secured reelection to his U.S. House seat representing North Carolina. On Election Day, Murphy encountered no major party opposition, facing only a Libertarian candidate as he aimed for another term in the 3rd Congressional District. This region encompasses a range from the rural counties in the south-central part of the state all the way to the scenic Outer Banks, and it is home to the Marine Corps facility, Camp Lejeune.
Murphy, who is a trained urologist and previously served in the North Carolina state House, first entered Congress following a special election in 2019. He filled the vacancy left by the late U.S. Representative Walter Jones Jr. Since arriving, Murphy has been an active participant in Congress, holding a position on the influential House Ways and Means Committee.
The announcement of Murphy’s victory came at approximately 8:50 p.m. EST, confirming his continued representation of the district amidst the general electoral proceedings. His win reinforces his status within North Carolina’s political landscape as he prepares to continue his work in Congress.
