Thank you for taking the time to read my most recent updates from Eastern North Carolina and Washington, D.C. As always, it remains a true honor and a privilege to represent you in Congress!

Quote of the Week On October 19, 1781, American forces won a decisive victory at the Siege of Yorktown, effectively ending major combat operations in the American Revolutionary War. “I have the Honor to inform Congress, that a Reduction of the British Army under the Command of Lord Cornwallis, is most happily effected.” – George Washington. Washington’s words announced a turning point in the fight for American independence. The victory at Yorktown demonstrated what determined leadership, strategic planning, and cooperation between American forces and their French allies could accomplish. The American Revolution was built on the courage and sacrifice of those who believed a free nation, governed by its own people, was worth fighting for. Despite tremendous challenges, the Continental Army persevered and helped secure the independence that would shape the future of the United States. Yorktown also reminded us that great achievements require more than individual determination. Coordinated American and French forces played a critical role in surrounding the British army and securing the victory. More than two centuries later, the principles that inspired the American Revolution remain central to our nation. Freedom, self-government, and the willingness to stand up for our founding ideals continue to define the American experience. George Washington’s leadership during the Revolution helped lay the foundation for a nation built on liberty and opportunity. His words following Yorktown remind us of the importance of perseverance, unity, and service to a cause greater than ourselves. We remember the American patriots who fought for our independence and celebrate the enduring spirit of courage and determination that helped establish the United States of America. Over the last two weeks, I have had the pleasure of meeting with so many constituents, small business owners, farmers, and community leaders to hear directly about the issues that matter most to you. We continue to face serious challenges, including the high cost of groceries, gasoline, and healthcare, and I remain committed to actively pursuing common-sense solutions. It is an honor to represent you in Congress, and I will keep working every day to ensure our region and our nation continue to thrive. I will continue fighting for the values of North Carolina's Third Congressional District. If you wish to stay more engaged and aware of what is happening in Washington and our District, please follow me on my social media accounts linked above or here: Instagram, X, Facebook, and YouTube.   Early Voting   Early Voting in North Carolina is underway until October 31st at 3pm.

This event celebrates and honors our troops by inviting them to share their stories and have them archived in the Library of Congress. If you are a veteran or know someone who is, I encourage you to participate in this wonderful event. It is a fantastic way to honor those in our community who selflessly sacrificed so much for our freedom and security. Register here!    Casework Win of the Week   Helping a Duplin County Constituent A Duplin County constituent contacted my office after a hold was placed on their 2019 tax return. My office worked directly with the Taxpayer Advocate Service and provided the necessary documentation to resolve the issue, resulting in the release of a $76,416 refund. My office remains committed to helping Eastern North Carolina residents navigate the federal government and resolve issues with federal agencies   In the Disctrict    Hosted 5th Annual WATERS Summit  The 5th Annual Water Adaptations to Ensure Regional Success (WATERS) Summit in Greenville was a great success! Congressman David Rouzer and I were proud to lead this year’s summit, bringing together stakeholders from across North Carolina to discuss innovative solutions to flooding and other waterway challenges. These issues directly affect our communities across Eastern North Carolina. By working together across party lines, we can develop practical legislative solutions and long-term strategies to protect our communities, strengthen our infrastructure, and address the water challenges facing our state. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this year’s summit a success. I look forward to continuing this important work. Celebrated Jones County Groundbreaking Ceremony I was glad to join local leaders and community members in Trenton for the groundbreaking of the new Jones County Public Works Facility. Public works may not always make the headlines, but the people who maintain our roads, care for our infrastructure, and keep our communities running play an important role in our daily lives. This new facility invests in those hardworking employees and in Jones County's future. Jones County is home to people who take pride in their communities and work hard to make them better. I believe strong partnerships between local, state, and federal leaders are essential to helping our communities grow and ensuring they have the resources they need. It was great to be part of this milestone, and I want to thank the county leaders, staff, and everyone who helped bring this project to this point. I look forward to seeing the progress ahead and the positive impact this facility will have on Jones County for years to come. Participated in North Carolina Support Our Troops Care Package Event It was great to visit NC Support Our Troops in Ayden and spend time with the volunteers who work hard to support our service members. I joined them in packing care packages for our troops, a small way to show our appreciation for the men and women who sacrifice so much to defend our country. I’m grateful to Barbara Whitehead and all the volunteers who give their time to this important mission. Our service members deserve to know their communities back home support them, and I’m proud to see Eastern North Carolinians stepping up to show them that support. God bless our troops and the volunteers who stand behind them! Meeting with Ayden Chamber of Commerce I enjoyed joining the Ayden Chamber of Commerce for lunch to discuss my work in Congress and the issues that matter to Eastern North Carolina. Staying connected with local business and community leaders helps us understand the challenges facing our communities and ensure their voices are heard in Washington. I appreciate the Chamber inviting me to speak and giving me the opportunity to share a legislative update and hear from those who help keep Ayden moving forward. Thank you to the Ayden Chamber of Commerce for its continued work supporting our local community! Meeting with Jones County Sheriff Matt Wineman Thank you to Jones County Sheriff Matt Wineman for having me by the station, as well as the opportunity to discuss how Congress can be helpful to the mission of community safety. It is my privilege to fight for federal resources to ensure that our officers have what they need to be successful. I appreciate the work you and your team do, and sacrifices you make, to keep our community safe. I will always support our law enforcement officers in Washington! Meeting with Meet-and-Greet Hosted by Grifton Mayor Barnes I had an excellent time meeting with residents and community leaders at a Meet-and-Greet hosted by Grifton Mayor William Barnes. Getting out into Eastern North Carolina and meeting with the people I represent is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. It lets me hear directly from residents, learn about the issues affecting their families, and have honest conversations about our communities' future. Grifton is an important part of Eastern North Carolina, and I appreciate the opportunity to connect with residents and local leaders who care deeply about their town. Strong communities depend on people who are willing to come together, share ideas, and work toward common goals. Thank you to everyone who came out and took the time to speak with me. I am grateful for the opportunity to represent Eastern North Carolina in Congress, and I will keep working to ensure our communities have a strong voice in Washington.   In the Media   NewsNation Morning in America  Watch my appearance on NewsNation, where we discussed the upcoming midterm elections and why America is at a pivotal moment.  Click here or on the image below to watch   Health Literacy Month     October is Health Literacy Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of understanding health information, making informed medical decisions, and ensuring patients have the resources they need to manage their health. As a physician, I understand how important it is for patients to understand their diagnoses, treatment options, and preventive care. Health literacy empowers individuals to take an active role in their health, communicate effectively with their health care providers, and make informed decisions about their care. We must continue working to ensure patients have access to clear, reliable health information. Across Eastern North Carolina and throughout our nation, Health Literacy Month reminds us that everyone should be able to understand the information they need to make decisions about their health. From understanding prescription instructions to navigating health insurance and recognizing preventive care recommendations, clear communication can make a meaningful difference in patient outcomes. As a physician and a Member of Congress, I will continue working to improve access to quality health care and ensure patients have the information and resources they need to make informed decisions. This month, we recognize the importance of health education, encourage open communication between patients and providers, and reaffirm our commitment to helping every American take an active role in their health. Sincerely,   Greg Murphy Member of Congress
